    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?

    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.

      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.

      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

        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.

    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.

    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.
