What the hell is skynet?

Expand  

it's a sarcastic jape relating this new AI modeling tech to the key plot element in the sci fi franchise thriller, "The Terminator", from way back in the 1980s - at this point, a series of some 5 films, with the most recent ... I think called, "Dark Territory".

in the plot... Skynet was an evolving AI that became self-aware, and then exhibiting separatist modes that were clearly not in the best interest of humanity.  Humanity attempted to 'pull the plug'.  This only incensed the AI, and in a kind of fit of self-preservation it touched off a nuclear holocaust by launching all the U.S. missiles at the Soviet Union  ( at the time the original movie was mad back in the 1980s ... was still an intact sovereignty, and still the primary "Cold War" enemy to western non-communist ..blah blah-blah ), knowing that the Soviet Union would return in kind. 

That's the gist of it ...   it was actually a brilliant story and quite ahead of the times.   ...actually, just Wiki "The Terminator"   done deal -

anyway, people are having fun referring to Euro AI as 'Skynet'
