Still waiting for my Back to the Future hoverboardsThere's no fate but what we make......We made it worse.
The proof of humanity..."how many fingers!"
In the next 40 years?
Same way we were supposed to get self-driving cars everywhere by now?Oh, we will get there very fast. <5 years.
I did not make that prediction, why are you asking me?Same way we were supposed to get self-driving cars everywhere by now?
Wait what?We need a hero to save us from the AI ruining Cameron‘s 4K Blu-rays.
In the next 40 years?
I'm sure it could be made today if enough money was thrown at it.I'm actually really curious. Can a reasonable facsimile of the A.I. capabilities of a T-800 not be done today already?
For the sake of argument, let's say the robotic exoskeleton was totally doable. As for the CPU, I know the T-800's CPU was shown to be quite small, about the size of a smartphone's system on a chip, and we can't make something that powerful at that small of a size.
But, for an easy workaround, let's say you housed Nvidia's upcoming GB200 Superchip in the torso instead of the head. And then the world's best A.I. programmers made the T-800's firmware. Could a more or less functional terminator then not be made?
Having a small nuclear reactor to power it would be strait forwardI'm sure it could be made today if enough money was thrown at it.
The bigger issue would probably be powering the thing, unless you are always going to keep it tethered.
The T-800 is surprisingly adaptable and convincing as a human. Even if you ignore the baby sitting capabilities of Dark Fate (eye roll emoji) in T1 it was able to rent a cheap hotel room, source weapons, drive a car, anticipate locations and understand relationships between humans, fake appropriate voices, run from authorities (still not sure why it did that, coulda nailed Conner and Reese in the car, nothing the cops had should have been a threat, but maybe he wasn't 100% sure that was Sarah?), and understand a good amount of nuance in disguising itself and interacting effectively with others ("Fuck you, asshole"). If anything, later films make them dumber and less subtle.But, for an easy workaround, let's say you housed Nvidia's upcoming GB200 Superchip in the torso instead of the head.
