You fools.

Sarah Conner would be like "You shits think this is AI?"

"i know the date it happens! on August 29th 1997, it's gonna feel pretty FUCKING REAL TO YOU TOO! anybody not wearing two million sunblock's gonna have a real bad day, get it?? god, you think you're safe and alive, you're already dead - him, you, you're dead already! this whole place, everything you see is GONE! YOU'RE THE ONE LIVING IN A FUCKING DREAM, SILBERMAN! 'CAUSE I KNOW IT HAPPENS! IT HAPPENS!!"

- Never noticed how long his face really is. Feels like looking at my own thumb.
- Stabs her with some drugs.
Scene: on the far wall of the room is a small intercom. It is connected to a hospital wide-AI, that is tasked to converse with patients, especially when the noise threshold exceeds 66Db. The intercom springs to life after hearing these very loud complaints, and begins to speak in a soothing, if not slightly robotic, voice.
AI health assistant: Sarah, remember what we talked about? That was 30 years ago. Silberman died 15 years ago. Please stop disturbing the other patients and eat your pudding.
We're not changing the future or stopping it .... we just delay it from inevitably happening
- No fate but what we make.
- That was a bullshit twist ending and if dragging out an aging Schwarzenegger to do some of the stiffest line-reads in his career hadn't spoiled the franchise, I'd say this was what put it out to pasture.
  The thing that made the first two films (and the short-lived TV spin off) cool was this idea of a modern day insurgency against a dystopian future. As soon as you concede Judgement Day is irreversible, it sucks all the drama out of the story. Now you've just got What If Rambos Were Robots And They Were Fighting: The Movie, minus all that social baggage about Vietnam.

Microsoft is literally turning on 3 mile island to run AI

Same vibes

I'd rather them use nuclear than oil to power that stuff but its still kinda annoying
- The thing is that nuclear energy could have been used to replace other things that uses oil energy instead. It could have lowered carbon emissions, instead it just adds to energy expense.
- The scariest part of this is all the rural land they're buying up. The rural areas were the only areas free of buldozing millions of years of natural habitats

Living in 2025 has got me feeling like Sarah Connor about fucking everything. At this point, I'm pretty sure we're just a few months out from the Faro plague, and when it breaks out, the Trump administration will ban government officials from talking about it by adding it to their list of banned DEI words.

The fearmongering is also a part of the AI hype. If AGI was anywhere close, do you really think the Microsoft and NVIDIA stock would be doing crab walk on the exchange?

AImen brotha

More likely, skynet already happened, you're probably the cpu.
Even more likely, You're the dream inside of the brain of one of skynet's electric sheep.

Went back in time and changed things repeatedly = explains Trump.

This raises an interesting question: if some time traveler really did tamper with things, what would the evidence look like? Is there anything that could have only happened with knowledge from a now defunct timeline?
Then there's the horror that it is actually happening and this is somebody's idea of a repaired timeline.
- I don't think there ever could be observable evidence of a changed timeline. Especially nothing stupid like Marty slowly fading out of existence in Back to the Future.
  But tbh, I'm not sure going into the past to change something is actually possible in most cases without creating some sort of time paradox. Interacting with the future shouldn't cause any problems, but the past is probably set in stone. After all, if I went back in time to assassinate hitler, there is no reason for future me to go back in time to kill hitler since he was already killed, causing hitler to never get assassinated. And on and on it loops.
- If you take the interpretation of the Participatory Anthropic Universe (that we in the present brought the past into being through consensus observation/recollection), then you in the present will maybe have some loose memories associated to how the world used to be, but everyone else who still exists will have their memories overridden with the events you set in place. BackToTheFuture-style.
It was that damn sports almanac, wasn't it?
What if this is the best possible timeline? 🤡

I'm 99.9% sure Terminator movie was a warning sent from the future.

Always keep in mind, if it’s free then you are the product!

That’s why my life, my love, and my lady is the sea.

Robocop vs Terminator was a interesting comic. The premise being that Skynet interacted with RoboCop's cyborg brain which is how it gained sentience and was able to bring about war. The fact it was a cops brain, well there you go.

Conner wouldn't stare, she'd just fucking shank you.

The fools are those thinking AI is anything more than just an advanced palm pilot handwriting model

Why did we start using steak sauce on everything, anyway?

They'll run out of coolant and electricity before they get anywhere near that.

Why we only make reality out of movies that are technology driven. Humanity would never visualize aliens, it makes they never get real. Fuck that. I want alien vs predator. I want fucking ET, district 9, arrival and shit like that.

I want to believe.

She's smoking a cigarette so she doesn't have room to talk

As gross a habit as I think it is, I'd probably pick up smoking too if murder robots kept coming from the future to kill my son and I.
Spoiler
- After a bit of an iffy start, that show was the only good Terminator since T2.

... And being powered by restarting a nuclear reactor that underwent a meltdown

I'm not worried. The robot leopards won't eat MY face.
