So many allusions to Terminator in our current 'Real world' issues, problems and madness, and yet I seldom if ever hear it directly mentioned.
We know all the 1984isms and the Alice in Wonderlandisms and The Matrix connections - but the AI 'conversation' most closely echoes Terminator. And of course we see the beginnings mimicked in Musk's Starlink (Skynet) project - proceeding quietly up above us whilst we are diverted always by other Earthly things.
All for the 'good' of humanity …… yet so slyly unfurled.
