[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [qb] So hypothetically speaking, if SkyNet achieved its goal, would it then just mellow out? Would it try exploring what it means to be sentient? What about the bots? What would happen to them? And why don't we see humans from the far future? Gah, so many questions... Also how exactly did it achieve sentience? [/qb][/QUOTE]According to Uncle Bob:- [QUOTE][i]In three years he creates a revolutionary type of microprocessor...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 on-line on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defence. Skynet begins to learn, at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 am, eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.[/i][/QUOTE]And according to Kyle:- [QUOTE][i]Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination.[/i][/QUOTE]Basically they created something with the potential to learn and adapt (vital for any bomber pilot) and it accumulated so much data that it gained self awareness. If it sounds silly, remember that we're not even sure how we became self aware or how any creature came into existence (theories abound of course) also a geometric rate is something that really sneaks up on you. I imagine by the time the Pentagon realised there was a problem it was already too late. As for a virus gaining self awareness, unless all those PC's are operating in sync I wouldn't worry too much. Even then, with all the computer and supercomputers of the world working together it would be about as smart as a lobotomised cockroach that was mentally deficient to begin with. [/QB][/QUOTE]
