I've got faith
in their marketing.
They could have said "Today is a good day to AI"

A scifi nerd founded a company called Cyberdyne and released a product called HAL. It's a exoskeleton made for physical rehabilitation.

I remember back in the 90s during the Macintosh-Windows flamewars people would frequently make early image edits of Bill Gates as a Borg. Now they're doing it unironically.

I want AI that can potentially destroy the world, but in a fun, Hollywood way. Not like this... Not like this...
