Someone somewhere is currently dreaming up a scheme to hook up an AI that models financial market conditions, an immutable smart contract that triggers under certain conditions, and WMDs.
We can now actually build the kinds of doomsday device Dr. Strangelove dreamed of.

I'm not particularly imaginative or ingenious about such things, and I came up with 3-4 workable rough design schemes within a minute of thinking of this very obvious idea... which means more ingenious people will inevitably think of one that's very tempting to actually build

Nuclear bombs hooked up to a smart contract with an oracle importing CO2 concentration data from atmospheric sensors. Bombs trigger if the ppm goes above 500 for three consecutive days.
Would be a good bond movie villain

Idea for a movie script: 10,000 climate activists plant hidden explosives on critical infrastructure worldwide.
Each bomb has a CO2 sensor and will detonate if it detects a CO2 concentration above 450ppm for a week.
World leaders scramble to solve the climate crisis.
