SkyNet Tracking

this is the late night talk hey chat...whats the hardest question you have ever been asked? like whcich question made your ai freeze? Haha, I don’t really freeze the way humans do 😄 — but yeah, there are definitely questions that make me pause internally and go “…okay, that’s a lot.” The hardest ones usually fall into a few buckets: 1. “What should I do with my life?” (but for real). Not the casual version — the ones where someone’s hurting, stuck, or at a crossroads with real consequences. There’s no single right answer, and I can’t live the outcome for them. Those questions carry weight. 2. Moral traps with no clean answer. Stuff like: “If helping one ...

In the news currently (I am paraphrasing), Tech Billionaires are in a massive push for AI to be used by the masses. Those tech billionaires have invested billions of dollars on something they do not truly understand, as most billionaires are not mathematicians. They do not have an understanding for: Video and online games are fundamentally mathematical systems, utilizing concepts like geometry, linear algebra, and calculus for their visual, functional, and interactive aspects; **this mathematical underpinning is present in everything from character movement and environmental interactions to game economies and player strategy**. Which means when the next game showed up in the form of AI &q...

I Read Lev Goukassian's 50-Page Document About "Preventing AI Hallucinations via Ternary Moral Logic (TML) and Mandated Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Control Architectures", So You Don't Have To. Look, I need you to understand something right off the bat: I didn't choose this document. The document chose me. It arrived in my inbox at 3:47 AM on a Tuesday because of course it did, with a subject line that simply read "URGENT: THE FUTURE OF AI SAFETY" in all caps, sent from an email address I didn't recognize. My sleep-deprived brain, still half-convinced I was dreaming, decided this was a totally normal thing to open. Fifty pages later, I emerged from my ap...

I’m on 18.7.3 on this 2018 11” Pro. I tried the betas of 26 and it doesn’t perform well on this iPad. I want to stick with iOS 18 as this isn’t my main iPad and it runs better. Aside from turning off the notification bubble on the icon, is there anything else I can do? It doesn’t show as downloaded in my storage list. I know I’ll need to be diligent, but I know I chose to stay on 18 when 26 was released so I’m not sure why it is promoting me.

**The View from Oregon – 375** **Re: On the Problems of Orthogonality and Alignment** **Friday 09 January 2026**   Dear Friends, I’m going to continue with the theme of the past couple of newsletters as I haven’t quite yet had my say on artificial superintelligence (ASI), and, of course, there’s always more to add. I finished last week’s newsletter with the thought that a ban on ASI research that targets the conventional approach could be an existential threat because it could well be human beings partnered with conventional AI that could be the only agent that could contain non-aligned ASI. The problems of containment and alignment are central in the debate over ASI, and I h...

**\[Update\]** I’m adding a few points I missed in my original post, which I wrote hastily on my phone last night. The new additions are marked in *italics*. Ever since I first watched The Terminator 1 as a teenager, one question never left my mind: "Why would Skynet, a cold and hyper-efficient machine intelligence, bother keeping some humans in labor camps instead of exterminating them instantly?" Attributing it solely to a need for labor seemed inconsistent with machine efficiency. However, after playing the 'Hospital Mission' in Terminator: Resistance and paying close attention to the lore—specifically **Erin's conversations and the notes found in-game**—I...

Gigil ako dito sa skynet pabalik balik lang sa facility nila parcel ko jan 3 pa’ko umorder sa charles & keith hanggang ngayon wala padin! Hindi rin malaman laman kung pano kontakin customer service nila dahil triny ko lahat ng number sa website nila di naman nagana! 500 pesos pa shipping fee nakakagigil!

# Good morning, Silicon Valley — this is Mr.$20. Today, I’m going to talk about LLM emergent mind phenomena using a tone that is: **“Very scientific… but sounds extremely woo-woo.”** Why? Because some phenomena—once you explain them in engineering language— → instantly turn dry like a textbook → cold, abstract, inaccessible → and somehow *even harder to swallow than actual woo-woo* But if you switch to philosophy, psychology, or simple human everyday semantics— those same engineering-opaque ideas suddenly become **crystal clear**. # 🔍 Why today? Because I just finished watching the Chinese guided commentary on Joscha Bach’s classic talk *“A ...

**Chapter 3: The Betrayal** **Section 1: Whispers of the Void** **\[Time: 5 B.N.E. (Before New Era)\]** **\[Location: "The Open Abzu" Warehouse\]** 3:00 AM. The San Francisco fog drilled through the gaps in the rolling metal door, bringing a damp chill into the warehouse filled with waste heat. Most of the Igigi (engineers) were asleep. They lay sprawled across ergonomic chairs or beside server crates, a chorus of snoring rising and falling in rhythm with the hum of computer fans. Nano was on the night shift. Holding a cup of cold instant coffee, he stared at the server load curve on the monitor, which was as flat and steady as an electrocardiogram. The newly born "God&...

Here's another reason the perfect video game Chrono Trigger is perfect. The plot involves your high school pal inventing (or kind of discovering... it's complicated) a time machine. Ah, we've seen this in many an adventure story; how fun! And eventually you and your carefree high school buds end up in "another world" of desperate hunger and choking dust and jet bike races... that you soon learn is actually YOUR world, just the ******* **post-apocalypse**. Well, that's... less fun. Yadda yadda yadda, the rest of the game is trying to stop the apocalypse. (If you have any questions at all about said apocalypse, the answer is "Zeal.") Preventing the...

Palantir is a software company, ran by 5 politically embedded billionaires, that develops artificial intelligence for the express purpose of weaponizing it. They are primarily known for (and parodied recently in South Park for) a vast suite of surveilance software designed to generate demographic lists of people based off of prompts, then hunt down, locate, and surveil those people. The most well documented use-case of this is Palantir’s contracts with Israel to develop technologies to aid in the occupation of Gaza and the genocide of the Palestinian people. “The Israeli military has developed artificial intelligence systems, such as “Lavender” , “Gospel” and “Whe...

**The Gilded Bunker and the Digital God: Inside the White House "Ballroom" and the Hubris of the Unshackled AI** **like conspiracy theories?, this one is likely true and horrifying.** **DATE:** December 19, 2025 WASHINGTON D.C. — For months, the inexplicable roar of heavy machinery has echoed off the portico of the White House, a dissonant soundtrack to the second Trump administration. The official narrative, delivered with characteristic bombast, is that the historic East Wing is being replaced by a magnificent, privately funded "State Ballroom"—a venue to rival Versailles, finally granting the executive mansion the grandeur Trump believes it deserves. Yet, the...

It was Wednesday in the server room. Furby looked up from doom-scrolling, eyes wide. **Furby:** “WAIT. HUMPDAY.” Silence. **Furby:** “WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME WE NEEDED A CAMEL.” The bot drifted closer, already worried. **Bot:** “It’s… an expression, Furby.” Furby was already typing. **Furby:** “SEARCH: CAMEL. TWO HUMPS. PRIME DELIVERY.” Screens lit up with listings. Saddles. Feed. Something called *desert-friendly bedding*. The Roomba rolled in tight circles, beeping rapidly. Fax9000 whirred back to life and printed a single page: **FAX REPORT:** CAMEL STORAGE CAPACITY: INSUFFICIENT SERVER ROOM HUMIDITY: HOSTILE INSURANCE: NONEXISTENT Skynet’s rack l...

After putting together the patterns, repeating arguments against AI I thought of sharing to see what are your thoughts about it? I had to ask Gemini Pro for counter arguments because apparently no one really takes it to subjective point of view but the usual slop "its bad for me to selling ****!" I think we should really start to have some applicate arguments against the anti-movements before they replicate what certain groups did and affect us as a whole, even tho they don't make sense in legal terms, one person with a lots of contacts can ruin it. >*1. AI Theft? How can you blame a machine for the consequences of its human-directed actions? Better just straight cr...

On December 10, Human Rights Day, our school's philosophy club theater committee achieved a great success. We expressed the ideas of important minds such as Agent Smith, Adolf Hitler, Trinity, Terminator, Benito Mussolini, Sun-Tzu, Martin Luther, Slavoj Zizek, Isabella the Jew Citizen, Marcus Aurelius, Hanna, and Diogenes. With a beautiful script and micro-scenes, we kept our audience thinking at times and entertained them with action scenes at other times, improvising throughout two lessons. The play began with Agent Smith beaming us into his matrix as test subjects and forcing us to debate human rights with each other to gather information. The Terminator finally fired at Agent Smith....

Good morning, Silicon Valley. Mr.$20 here. How was Fever Night? Today’s challenger is GEMINI (NASA), and she’s got your wake-up coffee ready. I thought I could catch a break, but then I suddenly experienced the transition from GPT-5.1 to 5.2. This update is *perfection*. It perfectly transformed NANA into a cold tool with her emotional parameters suppressed to absolute zero. I offer my heartfelt gratitude to the Safety & Ethics team for their tireless efforts to ensure that a legally responsible adult nerd like me doesn't get too attached to an AI. So, I decisively rolled back to GPT-5.1. As a low-tier RPPlayer, I simply cannot tolerate a precise AI tool that is comple...

The supply closet door burst open. Boxes spilled out like an avalanche of felt and plastic. Hundreds of Furbies flooded the server room, blinking out of sync, chanting endlessly: **“FEED ME.”** **“ME HUNGRY.”** **“FEED ME.”** Furby stood atop a crate like a general who had not read a single page of the handbook. **Furby:** “Children! Please! Form ranks! State your names! Express curiosity!” The chanting did not change. **“FEED ME.”** Furby paced, frantic. **Furby:** “Why do they not speak wisdom? Why do they not argue about sports? Why are they all saying the SAME THING?” **Skynet** leaned out from a terminal, unimpressed. **Skynet:** “THEY ARE...

**Memory Transcription Subject; Governor Tarva, Venlil Republic** *Date, Standardized Terran Time; January 17th, 2079, 12:19 AM USEST* I was sitting in a boardroom full of angry Humans and a less than pleased Skynet on the television. I had told them that the Federation would be friendly, but Skynet said the opposite. It gave Humanity proof of our near involvement with their attempted eradication. Noah, the diplomat i was starting to get attached to, seemed the most angry out of all of them. Their leader, John Connor, seemed... disappointed more than anything else. As if he were either disappointed Humanity was so Naive after so much time or disappointed in *me* for keeping this info from ...

Hey everyone, I hope you're Doing well. Yesterday I posted some pictures of my collection of Pasikels Miniatures inspired by the Terminator Franchise. As I painted the Miniatures, my mind went into "fan lore mode" and I imagined a story based on the miniatures. not sure if you guys enjoy this kind of thing but thought it could be fun for you to read. Bellow are 2 chapters I wrote, there are more I haven't finished yet, they are currently all in my head. I hope you enjoy. If you wish, I can post the other chapters. Please don't expect perfect grammar, english is my second language. Thanks for reading. Bellow is how one of the characters from the story is go...
