    I have an even better idea. We should connect all of the defense systems, including nukes, to an AI. It’ll be a great network across the sky using starlink satellites. I think we could call it SkyNet.

      Oh my god. What if Skynet was never an accident of AI evolving outside its intended parameters? What if it was a hilariously obvious and preventable apocalypse caused by a tech bro tweeting in the middle of the night while on ketamine?

      Not gonna lie, I did unironically propose something very similar to this once at work, and began looking into it.

      Turns out I was too young to know what skynet is… I swear it would work though
