Yestarday, I saw the Oppenheimer movie with some work friends. I thought it was well done and is important for two reasons. First of all, the threat of nuclear war is greater than it has been for decades. This movie may help people get a better sense of the danger. Secondly, some of the questions they dealt with about should such technology be developed and used are now being asked about artificial intelligence.

If you are interested in learning more about Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project, the documentary "The Day After Trinity", is free to watch right now here:

It was filmed in 1980, so there are people still alive who knew Oppenheimer and/or saw the Trinity test, and their reports in the documentary are interesting. Robert Oppenheimer's brother, Frank, has interesting things to say.

I am excited to go watch, and see how “accurate” it really is.

Don’t want to start a race war (and I am not a woke Asian) but do you really think they would have dropped the bomb on a Caucasian population like Germany?
