The Terminator universe is a little far-fetched (for the time being) but AI makes violations of privacy and cybercrime more efficient.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP how could Terminator theorethically ever happen anyway? they would need to have ability to turn themselves on

@NinaCherry

Consciousness is a wave, like everything else in the Universe is a wave, and it is found through a mathematical equation. The fastest computers can run the numbers faster than humans and find the solution quicker, and actually apply it.
@NinaCherry if it were to happen, there would need to be 2 conditions:
1 We'd have to put a lot of trust into our computers to give them access to enough resources, without the ability to pull the plug in time
2. They'd have to have the sophistication to decide it'd be better if they ran the whole show

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP thats what im saying. i just dont see it that we would ever allow this to happen. just like nukes have not really been misused since Japan
@NinaCherry uh... yeah, nukes... you might think we've always been safe from nukes since after 1945, but there have been some real close calls! My favourite is the 1983 incident when Soviet observation satellites detected American ICBMs in flight. If the duty officer at the command centre had done his job properly and reported it, Soviet policy would have lead to immediate retaliation. You and I are only here because in dereliction of his duty, he reported it as a malfunction, which turned out to be a good guess.
So if there's a possible system out there that can extinguish us, we'll be setting it up. Computers just don't have that level of sophistication yet, so that's why Terminator will be mere sci-fi for a long time.
