<p><a href="/tags/iran/" rel="tag">#Iran</a>’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps <a href="/tags/irgc/" rel="tag">#IRGC</a> threatened to retaliate in the wake of the <a href="/tags/us/" rel="tag">#US</a> attack on Iranian <a href="/tags/nuclear/" rel="tag">#nuclear</a> sites. In a statement carried by the Iranian state news agency IRNA, the military body said the vast number of US bases in the region were not a point of strength, but rather a vulnerability. The Guards Corps added that <a href="/tags/iran/" rel="tag">#Iran</a> retained the right to respond in self-defense & said the US would “await regrettable consequences.”</p><p><a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#Trump</a> <a href="/tags/middleeast/" rel="tag">#MiddleEast</a> <a href="/tags/war/" rel="tag">#war</a></p>
Integrating critical infrastructure systems more and more tightly by making them all digital and dependent on digital infrastructure increases the risk of catastrophic failure cascades. The risk profile has a phase transition with respect to increasing interconnectivity that, once crossed, makes such failure cascades comparatively highly likely.<br><br>The effect is not unlike nuclear fission reactions, which require a certain density of fissile material before they'll be self-sustaining. An event that'd just sputter out at one density might become an out-of-control explosion at a slightly higher density. Likewise, what might be a small and isolated component fault at one level of connectivity could be a catastrophic cascading critical infrastructure failure at a slightly higher level of connectivity.<br><br>The possibility of cascading failures in the nuclear power system seems like something we should be putting considerable resources into avoiding, rather than actively courting.<br><br>In response to <a href="https://www.404media.co/nuclear-rian-bahran-iaea-international-symposium-on-artificial-intelligence/" rel="nofollow">‘Atoms for Algorithms:’ The Trump Administration’s Top Nuclear Scientists Think AI Can Replace Humans in Power Plants</a> at 404 Media.<br><br><a href="/tags/iaea/" rel="tag">#IAEA</a> <a href="/tags/nuclearenergy/" rel="tag">#NuclearEnergy</a> <a href="/tags/atomicenergy/" rel="tag">#AtomicEnergy</a> <a href="/tags/usenergy/" rel="tag">#USEnergy</a> <a href="/tags/usdoe/" rel="tag">#USDOE</a> <a href="/tags/nuclear/" rel="tag">#nuclear</a> <a href="/tags/energy/" rel="tag">#energy</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/criticalinfrastructure/" rel="tag">#CriticalInfrastructure</a> <a href="/tags/failurecascade/" rel="tag">#FailureCascade</a><br>
