"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I mean, she was arrested and imprisoned for blowing up multiple things including a semi truck, several stretches of road, and the factory at the end of 1, and everything illegal she did in between 1 & 2. Probably got some of the T-101s shenanigans pinned on her, too, since they were usually close together. (and in 2 they specify that the police believe they are connected but don't specify how)
She was imprisoned in a mental institution because she was claiming robots from the future sent a robot back in time to kill her unborn child she conceived with a future man said unborn son sent back in time to save her, and thus himself.
Don't forget the AI company had solid proof she was telling the truth (the chip and arm they recovered from the destroyed Terminator) but covered it up so they could profit off of it.
Indeed! And even long afterward, the brass that knew how they acquired it even discouraged newer people from even questioning where they got it! Like everyone in that building had to at LEAST think they were accomplices in corporate espionage, because someone had to have invented the thing they were studying.
In the first act of 2, Dyson tells someone "I asked [where we got the arm and chop] when I first started, you know what they said? Don't ask" or something along those lines.
Not Conner (Connor), not for destroying (see Courtney's post), not datacentres (factory), not Skynet (which didn't exist yet).
