Future or potential WMDs?

Could this article include a section that discusses speculative WMDs in the future? For example, artificial intelligence? MaxWestEsq (talk) 17:55, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To add to article

Why does "ABC weapon" redirect to this page, yet the term "ABC weapon" is mentioned nowhere in the text of the current version of this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 00:30, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ABC in this case stands for "atomic, biological, or chemical," but it is an abbreviation that is rarely used anymore. NPguy (talk) 03:03, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Further elaboration on the differences between Biological and Chemical weapons

With further research the differences and applications of both biological and chemical weapons is shown, elaborating on their respective conventions that ended their uses and how countries continually circumnavigate this. Christopher Douglas2000 (talk) 20:56, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relative development timelines and pros/cons of usage?

I’d like to start a discussion from a Game theory perspective and perhaps link these two articles together in a more polished way. I’ll start taking a look at whether we can link the two articles in some way. Theheezy (talk) 08:12, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already one strange thing sticks out to me. There is no presentation of Game theory, given the overlap of the same people who developed the atomic bombs, and also worked on Game Theory right after. I’ll have to start pulling up archives going back the last 80 years to see if I can provide the appropriate connection by reliable sources. Theheezy (talk) 08:16, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please see my last two contributions to the page. There is also discussion at COVID-19 lab leak theory. However that is ongoing and we shall see where it leads. Theheezy (talk) 08:32, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hard to respond to an abstract suggestion. It seems game theory fits better in a more focused discussion of deterrence, e.g. mutually assured destruction. NPguy (talk) 21:52, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the only part of game theory, that's non-cooperative game theory. There is also Core (game theory). I have Donald B. Gillies' PhD thesis in hardcopy format and can send you softcopies via any communication method you prefer. Theheezy (talk) 06:09, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, I went back and checked my notes again. The PhD thesis is widely available, but his more important work is titled, "Discriminatory and bargaining solutions to a class of symmetric n-person games." This is in a book titled Contributions to the Theory of Games Volume II. I have this in hardcopy and can provide softcopies through any communication method you prefer. I'm all ears.

You have not yet given any explanation of how game theory is relevant to this article. You may think it is self-evident. It is not. NPguy (talk) 18:16, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well I mean, I'm pretty sure that this book is classified. Theheezy (talk) 07:19, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your dodgy replies lead me to conclude that you have nothing to contribute. NPguy (talk) 18:10, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
