AI becomes truly compelling not just when it's software — like ChatGPT — but when it’s fused with machines.
Machines that can choose the toughest materials… self-repair… switch between power sources… and operate independently.
Terminator took that premise and cranked the dial to 100 — sentient killing machines traveling through time to wipe out humanity — but it still gave us a glimpse.
A warning of what can happen when our creations evolve beyond our control.
Sarah Connor wasn’t just fighting robots… she was fighting humanity’s inevitable quest for convenience.
For innovation that lets us do less.
As Jung said, the constant among humans is a desire for laziness.
Why else do we create AI, automation, or machines?
These make our lives easier or give us an opportunity for means and money.
Money number one desire. Comfort number two.
There are two prongs and the first I'd argue, for most people, is to fulfill the second desire.
Sure, a small percentage seek power. That’s their ethos.
But Jung was right in one sense: 99% of people ultimately want comfort. They work so one day they can retire and do whatever they want.
Even Demolition Man — over 30 years ago — predicted tech that ended up becoming real.
Movies have always been previews of possible futures.
And let’s be honest:
The military has been working on tech that’s decades ahead of what the public sees.
That’s not conspiracy — that’s how innovation works.
Even in my own company, I have projects that won’t be released for five years.
Of course there’s hidden stuff.
Of course the public only sees the tip of the iceberg.
The future arrives quietly…
until it suddenly doesn’t.
How far are we away? Terminator's future was 2029. The timeline isn't what's important. It's the rapid speed of innovation and how fast the singularity can hit.
That moment when the system becomes self-aware.
Or like in Universal Soldier 2, when machine and human finally merge.
There’s always a point where everything changes.
And we’re racing toward it faster than most people realize. But machines doing everything for us? This stuff takes much longer than people think. And a society of machines eventually desiring and effectively taking us over because we are destroying the planet or resources or not in the Earth initiative? Well, I think that's a very long timeline from now, if ever.
