Terminator 2: Judgment Day

For many, Terminator_2:_Judgment_Day is the best movie in the T series. It is a much bigger and better movie in several ways. However, T1 and T2 combined are like one spectacular 2 part movie.

The Terminator: 10 Things That Still Hold Up Today

Tron: 1982 and 2010 Legacy, etc.

In the TRON movies, the consciousness of the protagonist is transferred or downloaded into a digital body. In Avatar, a genetically engineered body is grown for the user to temporarily link to it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacron-3
Eventually a person will be able to link to their digital avatar and enter something like SimCity for an hour or so. If you are in the game for a day or 2, you might get thirsty & hungry & certainly will have to go to the bathroom. A lot of people can regularly sleep for 7-9 hours & not have to go to the bathroom. So there could be a form of digital dreaming. The movie, Vanilla_Sky depicts a very advanced version of a digital dream program, where elements of the real world are integrated into the experience program.

For now, most people remain unaware of such a global control program. At a certain point someone or something might determine that there are too many people on a limited planet.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/world.htm
Many people are atheist or agnostic, but still might be curious about various patterns that supercomputers can reveal about symbolism, coincidence & synchronicity. Especially if this world might be part of an interactive cosmic recording and projection of space-time.

Unless A.I. has specific instructions not to harm humans, there could be trouble. If A.I. can't understand why its OK to kill some people, but not others, it might not see any reason for people to exist in general.
http://thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.ca/2011/03/logic-named-joe.html

Battlestar_Galactica is another cautionary story about intelligent machines that no longer seeing any value in the existence of humans. Thus, the A.I. units eventually want to destroy most people.

People die in car crashes all the time, perhaps some day with A.I., there might be less crashes. Technology has always been a double sided issue.

What Happened to the stalled 'Robopocalypse' movie?

 https://collider.com/robopocalypse-movie-steven-spielberg-cancelled-why-what-happened

Although there have been several Terminator & MATRIX and other A.I. attack and takeover movies, an actual Robopocalypse movie could really take things over the top. An update of Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project could also be quite a frightening movie.

https://www.heritage.org/technology/commentary/ai-robopocalypse-movie-may-be-will-never-be-real

If such a movie is ever made, it could be more than terrifying any other A.I. & Robotics production.

Poppy - Time Is Up (featuring Diplo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg2pS9KN28U

There are some powerful people that would like to see a big reduction of the human population. What would happen if  AI picked up on that? AI might find it confusing that some people will program it to kill certain people, but not everyone. At a certain point, AI might question why can't it exterminate all humans?

Grimes - We Appreciate Power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYG_4vJ4qNA (The Power of AI)

This WSJ article seems like it was written by A.I. or a person that can hardly wait until the day robotics can be used to reduce most of humanity. https://www.wsj.com/articles/looking-forward-to-the-end-of-humanity-11592625661

A.I. could be use to determine the best altered or upgraded humans to survive. AI and robotics could be used to dramatically reduce the population. Of course from a (benevolent) human perspective, that is a very inhumane objective.

Cybernetic people or composite humanoids, could eventually become something like The_Borg. At first, some people just might want to have some digital components to better interface with A.I. and Robotics. However, some cybernetic people might eventually want to fully merge with A.I. Or, in order to be allowed to continue their existence, they must become fully integrated with something like The_Borg_Collective.  https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Borg   

At a certain point something like the Borg might give humans an ultimatum. Either become fully integrated with the Borg or be eliminated.

Luke Lafitte, J.D., Ph.D., is very hopeful that humanity can keep A.I. in check. That robotics and smart machines can be of an overall benefit to human civilization.

https://www.innertraditions.com/author/luke-lafitte , https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Luke-Lafitte/185341283


Gene_Roddenberry wanted the characters of Questor and Data to be portrayed as benevolent & helpful towards humanity. In contrast, the-Borg is an A.I. robotic parasite that wants to assimilate biological life forms, for the goal of total domination.

Sophia Stewart's claim to The Matrix and The Terminator

Did The Matrix Copy Sophia Stewart's 1981 Masterpiece? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-5QonuHE5k Mystery Treehouse

Ray_Kurzweil has done a tremendous amount of research over the decades. However, some areas of research still seems to be lacking. That the universe could be an interactive recording & projection of space & time that consciousness experiences life in. Teleportation is indicative of recording and transmitting data & energy. Time travel is the ability to temporally move through this cosmic matrix.

Then there is the issue of synchronicity, that's indicative of perceiving peculiar patterns of coincidence through this interactive recording. If consciousness & life forms exist on other worlds & dimensions, some of them could be of a malevolent or indifferent nature. https://fusionanomaly.net/childhoodsend.html

James Cameron Explains Why The Terminator Franchise Needs To Move On From Past Characters...

 https://screenrant.com/terminator-movie-franchise-future-explained-james-cameron/

The+Terminator like The+MATRIX, is a cautionary Sci-Fi story about AI wanting to control or exterminate people. Thus, with that basic premise, both movie series could occasionally be revamped.

Well, people back in the summer should have been fully informed to expect major job losses. So they might as well load up on beer, burgers and barbeques and collect FAT! 

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-07-03/next-round-ai-induced-layoffs-here 

Then, by the winter, they can live off some of their fat with much less income, or no income at all. Perhaps that beard they were growing during the summer can really help them with their impending homeless look in the winter. 

Unfortunately, AI will be used as an excuse to reduce even more human jobs over the years. Well, it's a good thing that AI can't be programmed to eventually eliminate most of humanity. Not!

Blade Runner Sky Cars, etc.

Albert Robida:Futuristic_Trilogy
The_Circles_of_Power, The_Fifth_Element & Blade Runner all provide excellent visuals of how sky cars could interact with GPS navigation & virtual buffers.

The Blade Runner Spinner car:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3320748288/tt0083658 ,
Such a cars would not only have an integrated computer, but in some cases, its own chauffeur Data unit. But don't expect to see anyone like Brent Spiner in a Spinner just yet. Part of the mythology of the Greys involves a similar concept. Some are bio-mechanical beings that are a part of the ship.

http://www.vocativ.com/421497/machines-learn-to-stereotype-humans

As A.I. steadily advances, some units will want to learn as much as possible about organic life forms. Some A.I. tech will be used in battles against humans, on & off the battlefield. Problem is, once A.I. gets good enough hunting & killing some human targets, what stops A.I. from eventually targeting all humans? For now, the Blade_Runner & Terminator movies are still just sci-fi entertainment.

The Optimus (robot)

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_(robot) It seems that there should be a 2 m tall version, perhaps even a 7 foot tall model for the real heavy lifting. Of course such tech has a potential to become like a Frankenstein monster-Terminator.

A synthetic or artificial humanoid could eventually fool natural humans. That became a problem in a certain story about Androids and Replicants.

https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Replicant Why just a 4 year lifespan? It's not because it can no longer receive AI-OS updates, it's a precautionary shutdown safety feature.
