I like it so much. Since Asimov, we always were afraid to be confronted to a rogue AI killing people. Turn out, human specifically trained the AI to kill people. The kicker: The program has the same name as the killer AI in Terminator. Reality so much more fun than our wildest fiction.

Having known a few people working on military applications, that was almost certainly on purpose. Those guys know they're building scary stuff, they just either actually believe the military should have that scary stuff or care about having an interesting problem to work on more than how their solution will be used. Either way, they develop a sense of humor about it.The kicker: The program has the same name as the killer AI in Terminator.
