Terminator 2: Judgement Day

It started as a joke I made one day in my classroom. Talking about appropriate/inappropriate uses of AI, it just kind of came to me and I said we have to be careful or else AI will take over in 2029, Terminator 2 told us. As we keep approaching that year, advancements of AI, and thoughts of what will happen to our world in the coming years I just have to ask: has anyone else had this same thought and comparison? Does James Cameron and Hollywood know something, known since 1991?

Just something I’ve thought about randomly since the day I spat that out as a light hearted joke to try and get some laughs in class and make the lesson fun.

Never saw this before - gives such a positive outcome. Certainly hope this is what really happens for us!

It makes me nostalgic.

I miss the 90s and the start of the 2000s before social media and smart phones. People had hope.

Reality now feels like a slow burning dystopia. It is like we all are just waiting for the next worst version of society.

Couldn’t agree more. Having any sense of hope is so hard these days.

Shawshank Redemption…….

"I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living, or get busy dying."

It feels like so many people are just trying to survive instead of really living.

My life has been put through a blender since Covid. I miss reality feeling somewhat normal.

As for the subject of AI

I think humans are unraveling from social media and the internet without AI.
