No speed advantage outranks accountable human\njudgment, robust verification, and the refusal of automatic\nlaunch.\nThe answer is obvious.\nObvious answers still need laws.\nEvery military technology begins as an exception justified by\nurgency. Then the exception becomes a capability, the capability\nbecomes doctrine, and doctrine becomes pressure on adversaries to\nmatch it.\nA machine-speed nuclear posture would be sold as deterrence.\nIt could become mutual automated panic.\nThe clock would no longer count minutes.\nIt would count milliseconds no human could inhabit.\nThere must be a line civilization agrees not to cross:\nNo machine may decide that humanity has run out of time.\nNO ALGORITHM GETS THE LAST WORD BEFORE FIRE.\nFFTAC ACTION - Tell an elected representative or public institution:\nno independent AI authority over nuclear launch, no automated\nescalation, and no removal of accountable human judgment.\n",
