There's no denying that ChatGPT and other AI chatbots make impressive chat companions that can converse with you on just about anything. Their conversational powers can be extremely convincing too; if they've made you feel safe about sharing your personal details, you're not alone. Anything you tell an AI chatbot can be stored on a server and resurface later, a fact that makes them inherently risky. The problem stems from how the companies that run Large Language Models (LLMs) and their associated chatbots use your personal data -- essentially, to train better bots. Take the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day as an example of how an LLM learns.

'Terminator' stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton reunited to promote the new sequel'Terminator: Dark Fate.' Linda Hamilton became a star after appearing in 1984's sci-fi classic "The Terminator," alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. But after appearing in the latest film in the franchise, "Terminator: Dark Fate" in 2019, the 67-year-old was ready to retire – not just from her iconic character, Sarah Connor, but the industry as well. "I don't do a lot of regret. I think in the end, it holds true that we regret what we didn't do, not what we did," she told The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview. Speaking on "Dark Fate," she continued, "I'm very glad I went back. I loved [director Tim Miller], I love my ladies [Mackenzie Davis and Natalia Reyes], and while I can't say I love the film, that's because I was so attached to it. I felt like it was too fast. But we did so much good work, and it was the greatest time of my life, and the worst time of my life, all rolled into one film. Linda Hamilton told The Hollywood Reporter that working on "Terminator: Dark Fate" was "the greatest time of my life, and the worst time of my life, all rolled into one film." "I was 63 or whatever I was, and it was the hardest shoot.

Science fiction is full of characters, set pieces, and scenarios that few other genres could ever get away with. Due to its often speculative nature, the most accomplished sci-fi movies can sometimes require a bit of work on the part of the viewer. Yet as fans of the genre understand, when it's done right, a great sci-fi film is well worth the mental gymnastics that watching it might demand. Speaking of sci-fi done right: Whether you're a lifelong genre devotee or have never even sat through a Star Wars movie to the end, a little guidance can go a long way--and that's exactly what we've got for you. When you're ready to take your mind on a cinematic journey, check out any one (or all) of our picks for the very best science fiction movies you can watch right now.

Bouciegues said he has had some performers with whom he has worked express concerns about being scanned for projects but noted that it's been a relatively common practice for some time in the entertainment industry. "These particular scans are by no means suspicious," Bouciegues said. "They've been around since the early 2000s. And almost every movie with heavy VFX or whatever, every performer is scanned."

It has been billed as the'world's most powerful general-purpose humanoid'. But after being unveiled in a new video on social media many observers have joked that this Terminator-esque bot looks rather more like'it's frantically trying to find the nearest public toilet'. The H1 robot has been built by Chinese company Unitree Robotics, which is one of the leading developers of quadrupeds. Last month the firm shared a glimpse of another of its creations: a possible'pet of the future' in the form of a creepy robot dog that can talk and perform handstands. Called Go2, it can also climb the stairs, play fetch, emit music from a built-in speaker and even take photos on command, which are sent straight to the owner's smartphone. Look out: The H1 bot has been billed as the'world's most powerful general-purpose humanoid' H1, by comparison, is a humanoid that stands about 71 inches (180cm) tall and weighs 100 lbs (47kg).

A new Terminator-like skin that self-heals could give rise to killer robots. Scientists at Stanford University have developed synthetic skin made of silicone and polypropylene glycol materials that stretch like human skin without tearing, while magnetic properties allow the skin to self-align. When warmed, both polymers soften and flow, solidifying as they cool. When heated to just 158 degrees Fahrenheit, the self-alignment and healing happen in about 24 hours. The team said the skin could lead to'reconfigurable soft robots that can change shape and sense their deformation on demand,' ultimately transforming warfare.

Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble has the latest on fears the technology will spiral out of control on'Special Report.' Robots could soon be cloaked in human-like synthetic skin, similar to the cyborg assassin of the "Terminator" movie franchise, after Stanford University researchers developed an ultra-realistic, self-healing material. Researchers have been studying and developing convincing skin materials for robots for years, with Stanford professor Zhenan Bao touting the first multi-layer self-healing synthetic electronic skin back in 2012. More than a decade later, Bao and fellow researchers have taken their studies even further into the future: layers of synthetic skin that can now self-recognize and align with each other when injured, simultaneously allowing the skin to continue functioning while healing. "We've achieved what we believe to be the first demonstration of a multi-layer, thin film sensor that automatically realigns during healing," Christopher B. Cooper, Stanford Ph.D. student and co-author of the study, told SWNS.

He played one of the most memorable machines in sci-fi movie history. Now, the star of the Terminator films, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has appeared on stage to plug BMW's new AI-inspired car. The actor and former governor of California took to the stage during the German automobile firm's keynote address at CES 2023 in Las Vegas on Wednesday. 'Arnie' was then joined on stage by BMW CEO Oliver Zipse, who introduced the firm's new colour-changing car, the BMW i Vision Dee. Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks during BMW's keynote at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday.

Duncan Jones' Moon is a deliberately off-balance and confusing lunar nightmare in what is a sci-fi chamber piece between a space traveler who has lost his mind (Sam Rockwell) and his wandering friend GERTY. This Disney fantasy lingers in the imagination of cold, straight blue lines and gloomy reds because the character's passion for mankind stems from hungry curiosity rather than sterile analysis. One of the most iconic examples of a robot with undeniable self-awareness is this introverted "replicant" running for her life in Ridley Scott's cult classic, Blade Runner. Robby was ostensibly a supporting role to Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and Leslie Nielsen, but his character design and Marvin Miller's voice made him the actual star. Ava, a likely Turing test-proof robot stashed away in a crazy genius' rural home, is a fascinating invention that feels completely genuine but alien, thanks to Alicia Vikander's subtle and otherworldly portrayal.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Terminator" character said "I'll be back," this probably wasn't what he had in mind. The actor and former governor of California is suing a robotics company for $10 million, after the business decided to use his name and likeness. Schwarzenegger's lawsuit against the tech startup, called Promobot, alleges that the robot lookalike... "diminishes his hard-earned and well-deserved reputation as a major motion picture star," according to TMZ. The robot isn't just meant to look like Schwarzenegger, it also has his name. Promobot advertises the creation on its site as a "companion robot," one of several that emulates the appearance of world-famous celebrities.
