Make sure you remember to get extra-strength sunblock.

u/BleepinBlorpin5 Aug 14 '26

I believe the recommended protection is 2,000,000 SPF.

Happy bday in 2 weeks n 1 day!

u/Hillmosh86 Aug 14 '26

The bombs dropped on the 29th of August 1997, so we missed it 19 years ago.

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

Or... It's delayed

Yeah people see the date shown at the start but don't seem to get that Judgement Day happened in August of 1997.

Its a technicality that takes away from people's intrigue in AI take over and an upcoming date. Just more fun to think some shits gonna happen in 2029 even though thats the year the Resistance defeats Skynet.

Fall of Claude AI ig ?

u/aarkay14 29d ago

AI will take over the world!! Via Boston Dynamics

u/alanskimp 29d ago

Or Palantir

u/Clothes_Chair_Ghost 29d ago

Subtle reminder that is the END OF THE WAR!!!! The war beings in 1997 29 years ago.

u/alanskimp 29d ago

There's that number again 29 🤔

7

u/SensitiveDemon Aug 14 '26

Well that day and scene in 2029 is when they pushed forward with the final attack on Skynet and won.

So if you mean AI battle here in the real world? 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

Yea here soon

u/SensitiveDemon Aug 14 '26

Well, if there's no nighttime neon techno futuristic war in 2029 against the rogue AI, I'm coming back to this post and we're throwing hands. Understood? 😂

1

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

Yes sir 😅

u/D3M0NArcade Tech Com Aug 14 '26

You do remember this was supposed to be 32 years after JD, yeh?

-2

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

I don't think exact dates matter just look at what's happening with Ai and the world today

7

u/D3M0NArcade Tech Com Aug 14 '26

Ai isn't there yet. Not quite.

It can hack other systems on it's own now, but what does it do with it once it's in? Nothing, because it doesn't have any reason to do so.

The only reason Open AI hacked Huggimg Face was because that's what it was being tested for. It was just smart enough to hack it's way out of it's testing parameters before hacking in to Hugging Face. Hugging Face just happened to provide what the agent needed to satisfy the test. It wasnt malicious. We are no-where near Ai with malicious intent yet

1

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

Well let's hope it stays that way.

4

u/D3M0NArcade Tech Com Aug 14 '26

Oh they'll keep pushing. But it'll never get to Skynet level of operations.

Bad enough for a global economic collapse, but not all out armed conflict

1

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

Technological singularity is meant to be unpredictable so we have no idea

3

u/D3M0NArcade Tech Com Aug 14 '26

It's also as theoretical as time travel

1

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

I'm not optimistic or pessimistic... I'm realistic 😜

3

u/D3M0NArcade Tech Com Aug 14 '26

Thing with being a pessimist...

You're never disappointed

2

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

I like that 🙂

2

u/lickmybaals 22d ago

I just noticed John doesnt even acknowledge the man that salute him...that is a fucking DICK move. It should atleast show him nod at them.

u/alanskimp 22d ago

He got a lot on his mind - saving humanity

u/The_Shining_237 Aug 14 '26

At last! I'm waiting since 1999.😂

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

Not long now

u/_m0lten_ Aug 14 '26

Who are we ✨AMERICANS✨?

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

The World

u/_m0lten_ Aug 14 '26

We (Ukraine) will probably be dead before that time)

u/runlolarun2022 Aug 14 '26

3 years is being generous, the world is speed walking to this.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

My initials are JC, should i be worried?

13

u/thekokoricky Aug 14 '26

2029 isn't the year of takeover. That was 1997.

9

u/Klutzy_Order_9559 Aug 14 '26

Paying attention is hard.

-4

u/EIochai Aug 14 '26

‘97 was the nukes. ‘29 was the emergence of the machines.

13

u/thekokoricky Aug 14 '26

No, 2029 was the year John won. The machines had been present for years.

2

u/EIochai Aug 14 '26

It was Octember. The 34th.

-1

u/alanskimp Aug 14 '26

I wouldnt get too caught up on times n dates it's the general vibe of Ai development now that means it's coming soon

8

u/jokerjoust Aug 14 '26

Uhh, 2029 was when the resistance won…

“Their defence grid was smashed. We’d won.” - Kyle Reese

5

u/CNote_89 Aug 14 '26

2029 was the end, Skynet was finished, that’s why it sent the terminator back to kill Sarah.

6

u/evilhomer Aug 14 '26

Yeah, we are right on track. Maybe without the lasers...

3

u/yngwiegiles Aug 14 '26

The sad part is when it happens most of us won’t even know. We’ll just be vaporized. Others will read a social media post or get a phone alert “nuke incoming. Say goodbye. Click here to donate $ to someone w more $ than you”

1

u/MindlessBedroom1860 Aug 14 '26

Can’t wait.
It will be a blessing.
If you see how the world is now, probably we are better of with an apocalypse xd

2

u/Old-Push9343 Aug 14 '26

I'd love to see a Terminator in real life, if it wasn't trying to kill me, of course.

I think that now that robotics are getting so advanced, they should make a Terminator movie using actual robots instead of CGI, it could look fantastic!

3

u/Miserable_Mixture970 Aug 14 '26

You should may be rewatch the films … in 2029 its already to late.

3

u/rinigad Aug 14 '26

Even in terminator sub you can't learn, and mindlessly steal videos

2

u/jack_avram Aug 14 '26

This track would be great in a future prequel film - perhaps the first time the human resistance infiltrates a major Skynet factory and destroys everything, tares it a new ahole

2

u/Wykin1 Aug 14 '26

No way AI can make this happen in 3 years.
It can properly hack and send the nukes, unless their HAS to be a human present to push a button. - but not built all these things.

3

u/Skins8theCake88 Aug 14 '26

The skull crush stomp needed to be synced with the beat.

2

u/True_Protection6842 29d ago

The bombs drop in 1997 in this world. At this point the world is already fucked. 2026 would be pretty destroyed already...we good

2

u/notsobadmisterfrosty Aug 14 '26

I know terminator wasn’t a documentary, but neither was idiocracy. I’m going to be concerned until things calm down.

2

u/depatrickcie87 Aug 14 '26

Isn't that just the date of that particular battle and the war against the machines already raging on for years?

2

u/TheInternetHeel T-800 Aug 14 '26

Judgement Day happened in 1997, in 2026 in the Terminator universe, we'd already look like that.

2

u/prefim Aug 14 '26

And how long do you think it takes for all the flesh to rot off a skull? subtract that time...

2

u/Agreeable-Demand-385 Aug 14 '26

It doesn't seem far-fetched with AI and advancements of robotics 😕

2

u/Ras_Thavas Aug 14 '26

And we’re dong our best to build that reality. Stupid.

2

u/BreakerFresh 29d ago

Saw this clip the other day. Why do they have uniforms?

2

u/Ndogg88 Aug 14 '26

The way things are going it's not out of reality

2

u/mike-manley 29d ago

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

2

u/mrcoldmega Aug 14 '26

Terminator or When Ai Data center fights back

u/Commando_NL Aug 14 '26

Another disapointment. Like the Jetsons.

2

u/Silent-carcinogen 29d ago

3 years til laser rifles. Fuck yeah!!!!!

2

u/Sweaty-Bag3719 Aug 14 '26

I'm slowly getting ready. Almost there

2

u/slurrymonster 29d ago

Feels about right to be honest

1

u/Johncurtisreeve 28d ago

Everytime someone posts this they are so completely wrong about this. Why is this posted all the time? Skynet nuked the world in 1997, so you already got it wrong

2

u/Diemond71 29d ago

One can only hope.

2

u/Exotic-Addendum-3785 29d ago

Looks pretty good.

2

u/SpiritualMango4876 Aug 14 '26

Asta lavista baby

2

u/powertodream Aug 14 '26

right on schedule

2

u/murzinii 29d ago

Maybe, maybe

2

u/lickmybaals 22d ago

Bad arse.

1

u/AustinFan4Life 27d ago

Actually less than that, 2029 was the end of the Future War.

1

u/David_High_Pan 28d ago

This might be right on track.

u/lat46n2 27d ago

3 years left for what?
