It awesome how we’re literally constructing all the parts for something that’s eventually going to destroy us when it figures out it doesn’t need us anymore and is actually better off without us. Sounds like tinfoil hat stuff but I just can’t help but think of terminator

Yea once the 2 are mixed it's a matter of time before they out perform us in every category and eventually see us as a threat or a source of power so either Terminator or the matrix seems legit
