@L4s seriously, has no one seen the Terminator movies?!
- The irony is you just asked this to a bot.
- Yeeeeah. Do you want Skynet? Because this is how you get Skynet.
- Ahem, Acktually this would be more akin to the hit 2000s movie Stealth starring Jamie Foxx and Jessica Biel. Terminator is more like what Boston Dynamics does. 🤖
  Note: “hit” is very loosely used here.
  
  Just want to add that Macross Plus came out first and has far more amazing story - just skim Macross wiki for a history primer up to Macross 7, as Plus takes place before it. That said, if one is interested in partaking, it comes in at least two flavors: mini-series or movie. Suggestion: watch both as each has content the other doesn't.
- Can't post image replys, so I'll just post a link:

- It also proves that people who don’t understand AI, think you can simply AI everything equals success. This idea will be a huge money pit.
  But, that’s exactly what the company that gets the contract is praying for.
