Interesting post—I particularly appreciated the part about the impact of Szilard’s silence not really affecting Germany’s technological development. This was recently mentioned in Leopold Aschenbrenner’s manifesto as an analogy for why secrecy is important, but I guess it wasn’t that simple. I wonder how many other analogies are in there and elsewhere that don’t quite hold. Could be a useful analysis if anyone has the background or is interested.
