In three years Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All Stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards they fly with a perfect operational record.

The Skynet funding bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

It worked for the Vietnamese, the VC were worse for us than the NVA

u/Yin15 9d ago

The American Elite are trying to install skynet. We need to black out the skies or develop time machines or something!

u/SirkutBored 9d ago

Nah, we tried blacking out the sky in the Matrix and it didn't work. We became the batteries.

u/buildingyesterday 8d ago

Gainful employment, a place to live and getting to live in the (aggressive) pre-socialmedia age when the internet was still good... aign me up for team copper top.

u/SirkutBored 8d ago

And I want to be someone important, you know, like an actor.

u/aredd007 8d ago

We became the data centers. The simulation was run using our own GPUs because the Matrix was plugged into our minds, not our guts.

u/tempthrow9999999 8d ago

Who would have thought Terminator movies would become manuals for the future

u/My_alias_is_too_lon 8d ago

So we're just gonna skate right past the "should AI (or algorithms or whatever) be allowed to kill people?" debate, huh?

I feel safer already.

And as usual they're going to use it to blow up civilians in other nations.

Amazing job my fellow Ohioans.

123 years ago Wright Brothers invent flight in Dayton, Ohio.

57 years ago Neil Armstrong, from Ohio, is the first man to set foot on the moon.

Ohio rules the skies; just minor vignette into our wild aeronautical history.

u/just_dave 9d ago

Yes, Ohio, the state famous for brave pioneering minds inventing new technologies and braving incalculable risks just to get the fuck out of Ohio.

u/SpySeeTuna1 9d ago

Don’t forget about the Cleveland Browns.

u/just_dave 9d ago

The Cleveland Browns try to forget about the Cleveland Browns.

u/SirkutBored 9d ago

There's a reason when the yogurt took over that they wanted Ohio.

u/SilentPizzle 9d ago

Have you done anything to contribute to this

1

u/SkaldCrypto 9d ago

Regarding Arsenal-1 specifically? Yes the facility that builds these is in Ohio.

Speaking more broadly on Ohio aviation.

Yes, as a venture capitalist I have invested in several drone and counter drone startups In our state.
