I love seeing the plot lines of The Terminator playing out in real life.

WarGames is what they are more-closely referencing (not that it negates your comment in any way).

I just rewatched it a week or so ago and it really took on a whole new light with the advent of LLMs. When I watched it last I knew that computers couldn't do the things portrayed in the movie. Now? Well not exactly in the way it happened in the movie but a whole lot closer.

I wonder if poisoning/flooding the LLMs training with the lessons from WarGames ("the only winning move is not to play.") and similar stories/concepts is at all effective. Probably not because I assume it's trivial to filter that out if you are trying to build an LLM aimed at these kinds of tasks.

		"I need you to turn your key and enable the missile silo's MCP server, sir". ~ the opening scene from a reboot of War Games, probably. A few years ago there was consternation over the US's missile launch system using 8" floppy disks, that it was needless archaic and had never been updated. Can't say that if the launch is mediated by the latest hotness LLM.

I was thinking more War Games, but I suppose your example follows logically from mine.

Better reference: Colossus: The Forbin Project

		A grossly underrated movie. I think of it often these days.
