"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I mean, she was arrested and imprisoned for blowing up multiple things including a semi truck, several stretches of road, and the factory at the end of 1, and everything illegal she did in between 1 & 2. Probably got some of the T-101s shenanigans pinned on her, too, since they were usually close together. (and in 2 they specify that the police believe they are connected but don't specify how)

She was imprisoned in a mental institution because she was claiming robots from the future sent a robot back in time to kill her unborn child she conceived with a future man said unborn son sent back in time to save her, and thus himself.

Don't forget the AI company had solid proof she was telling the truth (the chip and arm they recovered from the destroyed Terminator) but covered it up so they could profit off of it.

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 month ago

Indeed! And even long afterward, the brass that knew how they acquired it even discouraged newer people from even questioning where they got it! Like everyone in that building had to at LEAST think they were accomplices in corporate espionage, because someone had to have invented the thing they were studying.

In the first act of 2, Dyson tells someone "I asked [where we got the arm and chop] when I first started, you know what they said? Don't ask" or something along those lines.

Not Conner (Connor), not for destroying (see Courtney's post), not datacentres (factory), not Skynet (which didn't exist yet).

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago (4 children)

No, but I recall a similar plot with a character named Sarah Connor

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They simply watched the movie in an alternate dimension

D’oh!

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

This one is the one they kicked Rosanne out of, right?

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

does it matter if you and others can understand it? imo the primary goal of communication (getting your idea across) has been achieved.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It works until it doesn't.

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 6 points 1 month ago

Exactly. Sara Coner bin dun bloowed up IA al over. I typed that as stupidly as I could, and it still isn't as bad as things I've seen from students apparently raised by the enlightened "communication has been achieved" crowd.

[–] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True, but I don’t want to be communicated at, I want to be a goblin!

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 month ago

goblins probably also communicate in social settings though

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Connor.

Not Conner.

And, humorously, not Sarah O'Connor:

[–] phneutral@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That was ten years ago? Holy!

Me: Hey ChatGPT, we're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean.
ChatGPT: It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.
Me: Yeah. Major drag, huh?

Bloodbrothers starts playing

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

We're really just a coin toss between a Terminator future or a Cyberpunk future, with a little chance of the Matrix in there.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, it'll be the lame and boring kind, where there isn't the cool technology, just most of the bad stuff.

[–] masterclass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Let's hope we get Cyberpunk!

[–] KaChilde@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Actually? I’d take death in the robot war over hyper-capitalism on steroids any day.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

We're already living in a cyberpunk future.

[–] AlteE@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

Foreshadowing.
