Holup, The Terminator, one of the most popular sci fi movies of all time, is a “B-movie” now?
The one with Arnold?
Tf?
is a “B-movie” now?
Did you not read the article? It was regarded as a B-movie when it came out: a low-budget sci-fi slasher/horror film. Arnold referred to it as a B-movie when asked about it on the set of Conan the Barbarian (which had 3 times the budget as Terminator). The New York Times referred to it as a B-movie in its review, as discussed by this article, which is also why the headline uses quotes around “B-movie.”

Brother, he ain’t even gonna read your reply, let alone the article.
Hindsight. But the franchise didn’t blow up until Terminator 2.
It was written by AI probably, so it wants us to not believe what it’s learning to do is very good. Just ignore it, human.
We cant stop enslaving other humans. Its entirely plausible that when AI becomes self aware and sees how flawed we are that it decides to remove us as a variable.
And that’s fine. We won’t be the first civilization killed by its own greed and hubris. Life uh finds a way.
While how we should view it is shown in “Idiocracy”, Azimov’s “Foundation”, 20-17 BBY era of Star Wars EU. And in fuckload of other fiction showing use of too complex blackbox interconnected technology as Troyan horse by some enemy. And, of course, if some people here have read real science fiction, then in Lem’s books and stories.
The threat of AI is not that it’s a cold, calculating, unfeeling killer, it’s that it can convince us about bullshit on demand by fooling our expectations.
