Directed by Jonathan Mostow
It's been 10 years since John Connor saved Earth from Judgment Day, and he's now living under the radar, steering clear of using anything Skynet can trace. That is, until he encounters T-X, a robotic assassin ordered to finish what T-1000 started. Good thing Connor's former nemesis, the Terminator, is back to aid the now-adult Connor … just like he promised.

That's pretty much the plot for one of the latter Terminator movies, right?

The movie Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines also predicted military involvement just before an AI apocalypse, in 2003.
Why do people believe in the AI-2027 timeline and not Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines?
That's because AI-2027 is not labeled as fiction, the categorization it actually deserves.
Fiction can sometimes have predictive power, but that's not the case for AI-2027. Their goal does not seem to be creating art to entertain people.
The word "model" in reference to AI has been predicted by the movie Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines.
The Terminatrix character is materialized inside a fashion store façade, and it steals the car from an honest driver woman.
It implies a change in subject or meaning regarding those themes. Wordplay on what a model is. Previously, a human female used to display clothing tendencies. Now, it means a multiplication matrix data repository.
It is a planned act of redacting or stealthing information.
Journalists are likely to understand this process of wordplay better than me, and it is not far-fetched to believe they understand the implications.
The Theranos stuff was likely triggered by the same movie. A girl that looks like a model (kind of), was taken as some form or role model (entrepreneur female), related to blood (in the movie, the Terminatrix does some blood licking).
Kind of fascinating in retrospect and on the light of current events.
Most of those female characters you mentioned are just as "real" to me as the male superheroes. I don't like the Marvel movies or give a crap about any of those characters, male or female. Terminator 3, 4 and 5 were creative disasters on every level yet apparently Terminator 6 was a problem because of *something something girl boss*.
The Star Wars sequel movies were all written and directed by white men but something something girlboss ruined it for you.
It just seems to me you have some ideological grudge that has little to do with the movies.
Would it spoil the party to point out that Facebook's original terms of service were insane? [1] That they promised something that Facebook was unable to deliver? They allowed you to post content to Facebook, wait until that content was quoted, copied, pasted, or remixed by others, then pull the content off and sue Facebook if any of those quotations, copies, or remixes persisted anywhere on Facebook's site. Ask the MPAA how well that would have worked out for you in practice.
We all know that removing something which has been posted to the web is like removing the proverbial drop of food coloring from a swimming pool. With their new TOS, Facebook is stating something that's been true all along: They're running a swimming pool. Once your content is exposed to its userbase you can't take that content back.
I am reminded of a passage in J. Michael Straczynski's screenwriting book where he talks about how important it is to avoid sending unsolicited manuscripts to movie or TV producers. They will send the manuscripts back unopened [2] and refuse to deal with you again, because:
One individual I encountered had written a spec Terminator 3 script, hoping to either send it to producer James Cameron and later sue Cameron because this person was sure this would be the next story or tempt Cameron to sue him, which would force Cameron to read the script, after which he would be so thoroughly blinded by the script's brilliance that he'd buy it instantly. (No, I'm not making this up.)... Unsolicited manuscripts are the constant nightmare of any producer.
Perhaps Facebook has become large and old enough to have had its first encounter with such a copyright troll. The solution to this problem, as employed by every producer in Hollywood, is to require a release form before you'll read anything.
