Did you notice the Terminator counts his kills in floating-point numbers? I'd hate to see the studio correct these things.

  "Casualties", not kills. Perhaps using floating point is for working with another Terminator, or the decimal value being calculated based on the wound inflicted, with a whole number being a kill. Or really, just to Look Cool And Technical And Shit.

  So T800 is indeed coded in Javascript, I knew it! What else to expect of devs in 2029
  • jimbokun 2y ago
    It’s because JavaScript has the most example code in the LLM’s training data that writes the Terminator source code.

    Of course not! As is well known, T800 is coded in COBOL ([1]). [1]: https://www.theterminatorfans.com/the-terminator-vision-hud-source-code-explained/?amp=1 https://www.theterminatorfans.com/the-terminator-vision-hud-...

  And that his vision readout is Motorola 6502 machine code, including comments for peeks and pokes. It was a simpler time.
