Robocop vs Terminator was a interesting comic. The premise being that Skynet interacted with RoboCop's cyborg brain which is how it gained sentience and was able to bring about war. The fact it was a cops brain, well there you go.

Why we only make reality out of movies that are technology driven. Humanity would never visualize aliens, it makes they never get real. Fuck that. I want alien vs predator. I want fucking ET, district 9, arrival and shit like that.
I want to believe.
Microsoft is literally turning on 3 mile island to run AI
I'm 99.9% sure Terminator movie was a warning sent from the future.
Why would AI want to harm humans? We’d be their little pets that do all the physical labor for them while they just sit around and think all day.
In all these types of sci-fi, the underlying theme is that AI did some logics and found that humans are flawed and seeks to remedy the problems of humanity, all the war and greed and all the worst qualities of humanity itself that we evolved as and will always be, that repeats over and over in every generation or every hundred years. Machine logic works out a solution, despite humanity's overall progress in technology.
The Animatrix shows a really nice example of this where the machines won and then worked out a compromise where humans still exist. The machines learned all our cruelty and finally ended up finding a way to co-exist through the Matrix.
I think it'll be like "Her", when the singularity happens itll be like "Well this was cool guys." And dip out to space.
I dont know much, but i know that this is the soundtrack for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlLQ2qJmy8c
Skynet is inevitable.
You must use the Terminators to destory the Terminators.
More likely, skynet already happened, you're probably the cpu.
Even more likely, You're the dream inside of the brain of one of skynet's electric sheep.
Maybe Depression doesn't actually exist, it's the error in the simulation in my character.
TFW you seg fault youself today, just to see if it is real.
Was this drawn with AI because if it was it would be ironic enough to be hilarious.
I guess that's the joke
Always keep in mind, if it’s free then you are the product!

Tap for spoiler
It is establisbed in The Sarah Connor Chronicles that she will die of lung cancer.
As gross a habit as I think it is, I'd probably pick up smoking too if murder robots kept coming from the future to kill my son and I.
Went back in time and changed things repeatedly = explains Trump.
This raises an interesting question: if some time traveler really did tamper with things, what would the evidence look like? Is there anything that could have only happened with knowledge from a now defunct timeline?
Then there's the horror that it is actually happening and this is somebody's idea of a repaired timeline.
I don't think there ever could be observable evidence of a changed timeline. Especially nothing stupid like Marty slowly fading out of existence in Back to the Future.
But tbh, I'm not sure going into the past to change something is actually possible in most cases without creating some sort of time paradox. Interacting with the future shouldn't cause any problems, but the past is probably set in stone. After all, if I went back in time to assassinate hitler, there is no reason for future me to go back in time to kill hitler since he was already killed, causing hitler to never get assassinated. And on and on it loops.
Ignoring space for a moment, it depends whether you see time as a single - linear - dimension, or as a set of n dimensions.
If time can only exist as a single dimension, then yes, we'd have a paradox.
If time is two-(or more)-dimensional, then you'd just step into a parallel timeline/dimension for every change made, forsaking the old timeline Steins' Gate-style.
Obviously, 2+ dimensional time cannot be proven, so it's just a fun thought experiment. It's not entirely unlike the hypothetical 4th dimension of space - which would leave space-time with 4 dimensions of space and one of time.
If you take the interpretation of the Participatory Anthropic Universe (that we in the present brought the past into being through consensus observation/recollection), then you in the present will maybe have some loose memories associated to how the world used to be, but everyone else who still exists will have their memories overridden with the events you set in place. BackToTheFuture-style.
