A high level of care was present in the development of nuclear bombs. Eg, intense secrecy and multiple layers of safegaurding before possible deployments This isn't "apples to apples", ofc, bc nukes were "known" danger, whereas AI is "possible" danger But some amount of this humility in makers feels right here, too
