If you have to define SkyNet for the reader, the reader doesn’t deserve to get the joke.

I was hoping that this would be something I could play with now. Alas, it’s not. I’d like to see it when it’s released, though, if it is real.

This technology does exist. You make a sketch that is uploaded to a warehouse in India where 30 indians to the work for less then the minimum wage of a single person of most western countries.

Bort is correct, it’s actually binaries, not source code. Still. I have corrected the link to those binaries (they moved the file in the last 24 hours, presumably to a higher-volume server).

I’ve always wanted something like this to exist. . . just never thought it actually would. . . mind-boggling.

“released the source code” -> It’s only the executable binaries

They didn’t actually release working binaries for the whole program, just the image filtering portion. They said they are working on a demo of the working program now.

I’m skeptical, but we’ll see. I don’t believe the AI for this exists yet.
