The Terminator prequels never made a lot of sense to me. If robots really wanted to kill all humans, they’d attack us using human frailty.
AI woods attack social media driving us to form armies and attack one another as mercenaries.
Meanwhile, AI driven nanobots would attack our DNA, effectively creating a human race with a “kill switch” to just kill us all on command.
Terminator running around using human weapons shooting people as bipeds was just… unimaginative after the first movie.
If I was a mad scientist, I’d just create a controllable, individually addressable virus that can modify DNA for good and evil.

I-am-a-pirate. I do not need credentials!
Is that some form of robotic tomato war machine, because I too fear the fruit uprising!
Or perhaps is it some form of cybernetic toe based life form? Perhaps derived from that species we were warned about on Animaniacs?

Just happy to be here.
I for one will be applying to be a pet to our new found mechanical overlords.

Pfft. We just need to turn it around and create entertainment that the machines can’t resist.
And the best possible response:
(not sure if anyone else will get this)

Remember kids, mad scientists don’t build weapons of mass destruction…mad engineers do.

Video would have been a lot shorter if there was a net in that gun.

More from DragonCon.
You have to remember, this was just before comics, sci-fi, anime and all the other stuff had leaked into, and thereby destroyed by, pop-culture, but after the internet became a thing. So you hit that magic moment that all things pass through, where they are at the apex of creativity & collaboration, but before "becoming a thing", and thereby crushed by money.

Exploring the world one toilet at a time.
Wasn’t that part of a plot in a recent Bond movie? Creating a targeted bio-weapon using individual’s DNA?

Checks notes….I didn’t ask.
Huzzah. You and everybody else.
What are the primary seeker improvements introduced in the Stinger RMP variant compared to the original FIM-92A, and how did those changes directly impact effectiveness against helicopters employing flare counter-measures (such as the Hind’s doctrinal use of “nap-of-the-earth” flying)?
Describe how the integration of an IFF interrogation system into the Stinger launcher’s grip-stock assembly influences engagement procedures, especially in a mixed theatre with friendly rotary aircraft present.
Do you know where I currently am? I seem to be hiding from you fairly well.

Derg you know enough about computers to understand the compute power demand of AI and how miniaturizing it to even fit in a suitcase is a problem. Now make a GPU that can do it, cheaply, while surviving in a heat soaked metal object that is running off a 3 lbs battery. Until we solve and democratize access to quantum these people theorizing the next autonomous war are just salesmen. Nobody is going to make a functional terminator with something like a raspberry pi. Now a low cost access to some form of cruise/loitering munitions (low cost still being the price of a Ford Expedition) maybe…
I just spent a week in the desert listening to a bunch of tech bro’s wearing REI gear & Merrill’s try and sell smoke and magic to leadership.

People can chill on the idea we will bring about our own destruction. We’re a very long way from the promise of self autonomy. Most of the stuff being flown has the compute power of a 100 dollar laptop, they are not running complex program language or doing any thinking, more simple autopilots.
