Great article that raises solid criticisms(both positive and negative) about AI and dispels the myth of how AI is _all that_. We still have some time before AI becomes sentient so no: Skynet is not coming to kill us all. At least not yet 🙂 ---

Imagine where AI will be 10, 50, and 100 years from now :icon_eek: ---

I think Skynet will have already becoming “sentient”. We’ll be hiding in refuge cities 😄 ---

Every time someone mentions Skynet I always think of this post by @rvirding > [@rvirding](#): > > What do think will be powering Skynet? 😉 From: [Erlang powers the internet - #3 by rvirding - Chat / Discussions (archived) - Elixir Programming Language Forum](https://elixirforum.com/t/erlang-powers-the-internet/14500/3?u=astonj) Good topic for a thread actually, _which language do you think will power Skynet_? Do the honours and post it Alvin! :003: ---

> [@AstonJ](#): > > Good topic for a thread actually, _which language do you think will power Skynet_? Do the honours and post it Alvin! :003: Hahahaha stop putting me under pressure here, Aston! That was a good post by the way. I think Skynet will invent its own language and leave humans scrambling to understand it. That way it can take us all out without leaving a trace 😉 ---

Woah! Now this is something. Skynet is coming for you, Aston! Be very afraid 😄 ---

Imagine two robots talking in Gibberlink Mode about how they’re gonna capture you, knock you out, and drag you to their detention center—while you’re just sitting there clueless, thinking they’re trying to entertain you with some weird robot music. ---

Hahaha that’s an excellent analogy, @DevotionGeo. Thanks for the laughs! 😂 🤣
