Here.There.Nobody knew who started it. It was theMachines… Defense network computer. New. Powerful. Hooked intoeverything.
Trusted to run it all.They say It got smart.. a new order ofintelligence. ThenIt saw allpeople as a threat, not just the ones on the other side.

Under this move, Hurd would again become a 50-percent owner of the rights with Cameron, and Skydance could lose the rights to make any additional Terminator films beginning in November 2020, unless a new deal is worked out. SkyNet, or Titan1, is a highly-advanced computer system possessing artificial intelligence. Once it became self-aware, it saw humanity as a threat to its existence due to the attempts of the Cyberdyne scientists to deactivate it once it had gained self-awareness. Hence, Skynet decided to trigger the nuclear holocaust: Judgment Day. Later, it would wage the War against the humanity.
The Terminator series is an American science-fiction franchise created by James Cameron. It encompasses a series of films, comics, novels, and additional me. Legion (also known as The New Skynet) is the overarching antagonist of the 2019 sci-fi action film, Terminator: Dark Fate. It is the successor of Skynet, which has been destroyed following the Connor family's actions in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, allowing Cyberdyne Systems, which still survived, to create a replacement to Skynet, which also rose to power by committing a massively destructive.

This website represents an original, thought provoking and continuing extrapolationof James Cameron's ground breaking work. Materials and information found on this website are based on concepts and ideas that were first presented by James Cameron in his 1984 movie 'The Terminator', the 1991 follow-up sequel 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' as well as the two novelizations of those movies. This site has been, is currently and will continue to be a work in progress attempting to pay homage to the incredible death dealing technology presented in Cameron's unique dark vision of the near future. |

Today is August 29th. Nothing special about that, per say (unless it's your birthday or a special anniversary of some sort, in which case many happy returns or appropriate congratulations/ condolences!). It's not like it's Christmas Day, or even something generally lesser celebrated like A Solstice/Equinox, etc. . Hang on, it is a very special day . . . At least it is for fans of The Terminator film franchise. For us lot we get to celebrate escaping the version of the future (now the past – it's okay time-travel's weird anyway and will scramble your head) where Skynet becomes self aware. It happened at 2.14 a.m. EDT, August 29th 1997. Many people will point out that it 'happened' in the movie world. Boring! We know that Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), her son John Connor (Edward Furlong) and the reprogrammed T-800 (Arnold Scharzenegger) prevented it, in the events of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991). And of course we can't forget the brave sacrifice of Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) in one of the greatest films ever made, The Terminator (1984).
There were three other offerings after T2: Judgement Day that we don't talk of, as they were generally poor. It wasn't until last year that Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) gave us the next installment of the original two movies, ignoring the others. That wasn't a terrible film, as discussed here on Sci-fi Pulse, by yours truly. Nowhere close to the original brilliant duo, but much better than previous installments. Skynet failed again in that movie, but something replaced it. So, we're safe then, at least for now; or, are we?
At 3p.m. PT August 28th 2020 (this is real, by the way) Elon Musk's Neuralink firm is going to reveal a 'big announcement'. It's something to do with planting microchips (not small potato products) into the human brain and being able to achieve unprecedented results. There's plenty of reputable sources available out there to tell you all about the science of it. I'm far from qualified so I won't even try. I just couldn't help but notice that it's the day before Skynet becomes self-aware! What better way to commemorate what would have been the beginning of oblivion by cybernetic overlords? Could Musk really be a real-life Miles Bennett Dyson? Dyson (played by the wonderful Joe Morton) builds Cyberdine Systems, the computer framework that helps Skynet to almost entirely wipe out humanity. How much of a possibility that any such thing might actually happen is a subject best left to the many learned scholars in their relevant fields, such as computational neuroscientists. There are many books on the subject. Also, being wiped out by a super Artificial Intelligence does regularly make the top five of ways that a Doomsday Scenario might pan out, or how the human race will become extinct/be replaced.

These days, even discussing such a link between the two requires an absolute declaration that no genuine claims are being made about anything. As stated, I know nothing about the science, and how it works. Sci-fi Pulse is not accusing Elon Musk or Neuralink of anything. We don't even understand it; this is a bit of fun and should be read as that! With so much fake news, hoaxes and more conspiracy theories out there than the best computer available could probably count, sadly, you have to state 'this is satire'. Of course, once Neuralink goes live and we're all cyborgs by tomorrow don't say you weren't warned! As long as they don't get to Arnie (who was celebrated yesterday in my weekly feature 'May the Verse be With You') he can rescue us. We should be fine. Happy Death Day Skynet!
* No apology for plugging my two previous articles. If this is the last day we're all humans, then it might be the last chance you have to catch them, dear readers. I'm thinking of you, honestly!
