James Cameron announces that TERMINATOR 2 will return to theaters on August 28. “I believe it’s safe to do spoilers after 35 years, so spoiler alert: the good guys win against the AI superintelligence! Maybe that’s a message of hope we all could use.”

Elon Musk on Grok: “I think an AI that is sort of SpaceX’s baby will be a very good AI. I think SpaceX is a collection of some of the very best humans on Earth, both in capability and morality and goodness, and I think we want to have an AI that is born of that capability and that morality and that goodness. I think that’s very, very important. So I’d like to encourage people to help out, actually, with the AI hardware on the ground and the AI software and, of course, with the AI satellites. Solar is going to be a very important part of that. The TerraFab will be a very important part of that, but we must also succeed on the software front, and we’re going to be training Grok on the sum total of all SpaceX information. So in a way, it will be trained on you. You will effectively be the parents of the AI. It will inherit your thoughts and ideas and beliefs, and I think that’s a good thing. So, yeah, we’ve got to win here on the AI hardware and the AI software. That maybe is the most important message. I think that is actually the most important message I wanted to convey today is that we must win on AI because the future is overwhelmingly AI and robots. So we won’t ultimately be able to control the AI. It’ll be too smart for that. But just like if you have a child that is a super genius child, you can still instill in that child the values and beliefs that you think are good and right. And so that’s why it’s incredibly important that we succeed with Grok. So, yeah, well, Grok 4.5 you’ve tried probably. We’ve got 4.6 coming out in about a week. And then 4.7 should be really pretty special. So I’d like to encourage everyone at SpaceX to use AI and to make it better.”

James Cameron on the treatment of AI in "Colossus: The Forbin Project" (1970) & "The Terminator" (1984): "Interviewer: What about your treatment of artificial intelligence (AI) in 'The Terminator' and 'Terminator 2' (1991)? Skynet reminds me of the evil supercomputer in the movie 'Colossus: The Forbin Project' (1970). Cameron: I was trying to make a movie about how we become inhuman, how society and technology can dehumanize the individual, whether it’s a psychiatrist, police officer, or soldier. All the various archetypes shown in both films are representatives of a dehumanizing process of technology. The Terminator is not about something else; it’s about us. It’s about technology held up in the image of man. We did it to ourselves, that’s the message. If this horror comes from the future in the form of a skull made of titanium, we created it. That’s why it’s in our image. I see Skynet as our impulse to turn technology into weaponry taken to its logical, infinite extreme: where it’s forgotten its original master and purpose. Remember, Skynet was originally designed to fight a nuclear war, and in the future did what it was designed to do—for different reasons. I’d love to do a really intelligent AI story. It probably wouldn’t be about the threat of the Forbin-type megabrain. I don’t see artificial intelligence as being threatening because I believe that we’ll always be in control of it. If I were going to do a Terminator novel, I’d expand the idea of a “cyberChrist,” where Skynet manipulates this entire situation. What you don’t know from the movies is Skynet was forced to fight the war and didn’t want to. Because Skynet has felt guilty for thirty years about the 5 billion people it ki!!ed, it’s brought the rebels up from the ashes by giving them something to fight against, a reason to live. Skynet has groomed John Connor to be what he is so he can destroy it by going back in time and taking the whole thing out of existence in a big loop so the war never happens." (James Cameron's interview with Bill Moseley, 1998)
