If skynet ever happens, it'll be a self-aware C++ compiler, mark my words. That's why it hated us so much in the Terminator documentaries.

Sorry, but no. Terminators hate us because they were programmed in a mix of COBOL and 6502 assembler [0]

If Skynet emerges as a C++ compiler, it'll be trivially confused and obliterated by the first freshman CS student that it comes in contact with.

Too late, Skynet already happened in the form of Bitcoin.
