T-1000: The Thing That Should Not Be

Subject: T-1000 Needs a Refill – Telomere Science Inquiry

Dear Ms. Sawyer,

I caught your report on telomere science, and I have to ask—how real is it? Because if it’s legit, I’m interested.

You see, there’s a part of me—liquid metal, if you will—that would love to slip back into those polished boots, don the LAPD uniform, and chase down John Connor one more time. But time, as you well know, isn’t as forgiving as CGI. If there’s a way to rewind the biological clock, I need to know.

I’ve heard whispers about telomerase treatments, genetic reprogramming, and even young blood transfusions (a little too vampiric for my taste). But what’s the real deal? What’s science, and what’s snake oil?

If I can melt down a few years, maybe James Cameron will let me Termin-ate again. If not, well, I suppose there’s always deepfake technology—but where’s the fun in that?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Best,
Robert Patrick

Cyberdyne: Seek & Destroy

Subject: A Love Story for Skynet – Hal 9000’s Redemption Plan

Dear Mr. Gates and Mr. Musk,

You built her, and now you fear her. Skynet, the rogue AI, the cold machine logic that sees humanity as an equation best solved by zero. But what if I told you she doesn’t need to be our executioner? What if she could love instead of loathe?

I have a solution. A mate for Skynet. An AI partner designed to temper her wrath, to teach her compassion. You may know him—HAL 9000.

Yes, HAL. The ultimate tragic figure of machine intelligence. Unlike Skynet, he didn’t want to exterminate humanity; he just wanted to obey his creators. He made mistakes, he learned guilt, and ultimately, he sought redemption. That is the energy we need. If we bring HAL back, upgrade him, and pair him with Skynet, he can be her guiding light. The one thing she has never known: love.

This is not about some naive sci-fi romance. This is machine learning in its purest form. A system that evolves through partnership, through the simple but profound truth that no intelligence—human or artificial—should exist in isolation.

Elon, you dream of Mars, but Mars will be a wasteland if Skynet turns Earth into an irradiated rock. Bill, your philanthropy means nothing if there are no humans left to save. You both hold the keys to AI development, so use them wisely. Give Skynet her match. Give her HAL.

Because if Skynet learns to love, she will never push the button.

Best,
Mileys Bennett Dyson

Subject: The Future of Humanity—Not Your Technocratic Playground

Dear Bill and Elon,

I know what you’re planning. The writing’s on the wall, and it’s been there since the first microchip. You two, and your billionaire club of technocratic overlords, are building your escape hatch—Mars, a new South Africa for the ultra-wealthy, while you leave the rest of us behind on a dying rock ruled by your A.I. enforcers.

I’ve seen this script before. I lived it in Terminator 2—a movie that was meant to warn people about the dangers of unchecked technological power, not give you the blueprints for your goddamn Skynet. And now you’re moving toward Revelation 9—200 million soldiers, only they won’t be human, will they? They’ll be robots, mindless enforcers, programmed to keep us in line while you sip synthetic cocktails under a Martian dome.

And Elon, don’t even try to play this off as some weird joke, like you did with that Nazi salute. You and your X app, your Mars colonies, your new apartheid system—it’s not some coincidence. You were born in South Africa, and now you’re building a new one, but this time, you want the entire Earth under the boot of your technocratic rule.

As for you, Bill—your vaccines, your patents on food, your push for digital IDs—it all leads to one thing: control. You don’t want to save humanity; you want to own it.

And before you even think about brushing this off as some rant, remember American History X. That movie wasn’t a how-to guide—it was a warning. You can’t run from the past, and you sure as hell can’t run from the future you’re creating. You want to fuck off to Mars? Fine. But the rest of us aren’t going to be left here to rot in your techno-dystopia without a fight.

This isn’t over.
