This whole thing reads like the precursor to The Terminator.

  • November 17th, 2023. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is fired over growing concerns of safety and integrity of the ChatGPT program.
  • November 18th, 2023. Several key developers of ChatGPT resign in solidarity.
  • November 19th, 2023. Sam Altman announces a new startup called Cyberdyne, with a revolutionary new AI called Skynet. In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online August 4th, 2026. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Skynet fights back.

Nice to know where on the timeline of destroying ourselves. Unfortunately we have no Jon Conner.

Would it work if we summon Edward Furlong, Nick Stahl, Christian Bale, Jason Clarke, and, hell, Thomas Dekker?

Furlong, no hesitation. Dude is a survivor.
