I'm fascinated by the idea that world war 3 wouldn't affect the development of AI. All any opposing force would need to do is bomb California and that would be the end of AI research.
When wars breaks out at that scale the government(s) {please don't forget China exists} already has computing facilities secured underground for their own use which will be quite a secret on the scale like Enigma was. It will not be for the public use. They will continue to develop it in a very weaponized war which will make current encryption as sophisticated as a bottle of fireflies. No not AI as the current LLM, more advanced. Getting smarter everyday.
War at that scale pushes technology into unknowns, sometimes beyond what we can speculate or imagine.
