Line 214:
*** Context, people. There's nothing "illogical" about the notion that something can be necessary/permissible in one context but morally wrong in another context. Any machine incapable of understanding that concept would be unable to relate to human beings at all. And a machine that is incapable of relating with humans would make a spectacularly poor infiltrator.
** I think that first post was thinking more along the lines of ''(holds up hand like Arnold in the second movie)'' "I swear I will not have any gods before the one true God. I swear I will keep Sunday holy. I swear that if I ever have a mother or father, I will honor them."
*** For an artificial intelligence wouldn't "Honor thy mother and thy father" just translate to "I will not harm a human or through inaction allow a human to come to harm"? And wouldn't honoring the one true God translate to "I will obey any order given to me by a human, where it does not contradict the previous law"? And as for Sunday, well, gotta recharge and do self-maintenance sometime, "I will not allow myself to come to harm, except where it would violate the previous laws".
* What chain of events could have lead to the time jump forward in the pilot of TSCC? Had the John Connor that sent Cameron back also been sent forward at some point? Was that the original plan when someone was sent back to build the time machine in the bank? For that matter, if each use of the time machine results in a new parallel timeline, how could you possibly form a plan that requires multiple packages to be sent to the past?
** The time jump forward was clearly intended to get the Connors from 1999 to 2007 to get them away from both the FBI and Cromartie.
