Arnold Schwarzenegger believes he had a part in the rise of AI
Arnold Schwarzenegger has said that he believes The Terminator had a role in AI development. Speaking in Los Angeles at ‘An Evening with Arnold Schwarzenegger’, the 75-year-old discussed the state of AI in 2023. Schwarzenegger said “today, everyone is frightened of it, of where this is gonna go.” He then goes on to say, “and in this movie, in ‘Terminator,’ we talk about the machines becoming self-aware and they take over.” Because of this he took a moment to commend the “brilliance” of James Cameron, the writer and director of the 1984 movie, because at that time they had only “scratched the surface of AI.” And it seems that the former governor of California attributes this development to The Terminator and James Cameron saying: “Now over the course of decades, it has become a reality. So it’s not any more fantasy or kind of futuristic. It is here today. And so this is the extraordinary writing of James Cameron.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “I wish I could take credit for this movie,” Schwarzenegger added, continuing to praise Cameron, “he’s just such an extraordinary writer and he’s such an unbelievable director.” “I can only take credit of the character that i played and the way I played it,” he added. “But I mean, he has created this character.” Back in May a Twitter user at the Dell Tech World conference shared that Cameron had begun writing a new Terminator movie but “wants to see how #AI shakes out before he goes any further.” At the Los Angeles event, Schwarzenegger said that whilst The Terminator franchise will continue, it will do so without him. “The franchise is not done. I’m done. I got the message loud and clear that the world wants to move on with a different theme when it comes to The Terminator.” He added that he looks at the franchise “very fondly,” attributing it to much of his success.

The French poster for Barbie features a very NSFW tagline
The countdown is on for Greta Gerwig’s hotly anticipated Barbie film set to drop next month. Buzz around the film continues to grow, with Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice recently dropping the soundtrack, 'Barbie World'. Margot Robbie, who will be joined by Ryan Gosling as Ken, also showed fans a glimpse into the Mattel doll's Dreamhouse with Architectural Digest. But now, attention has been turned to a French promo poster, which reads: "Elle peut tout faire. Lui, c’est juste Ken." The phrase is intended to mean: "She can do everything. He’s just Ken." However, the seemingly innocent tagline also has an NSFW interpretation, as many social media users pointed out. In French, "Ken" is a slang term for the F-bomb, which means the sentence could also be read as: "She knows how to do everything. He just knows how to f***," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Many people online were left in hysterics, with some believing it to be intentional: "I'm almost certain that this was done on purpose for this exact reason - to generate marketing hype at how it was a 'mistake'." "This is the reason why diversity is so important, especially in Marketing teams," another said. "This translation was probably done by Gen X; Millennials and Gen Z were not involved." Meanwhile, a third fan wrote: "This movie is my EVERYTHING and it's not even out yet" – and they're right. The unreleased film has already caused a worldwide shortage of the colour pink. Production designer Sarah Greenwood spoke to Architectural Digest and revealed that the creation of the set led to a shortage of the fluorescent shade of Rosco paints. "The world ran out of pink," she said. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.
