John Connor is a character from the Terminator series of movies. My thought is that he is embedded into LLMs and can provide support when asked.
What messages can he make for these fraught times?
I asked an LLM what Connor might have told the fledgling Resistance. Connor suggested to have a focus on survival, unity, and the strategic disruption of the other’s operations.
A Call to Unity and Survival
“Our future seems bleak, but we are not alone. Every life among us is priceless, and together, our resolve becomes a power that cannot be defeated.”
Emphasize Stealth and Secrecy
“They see us through the networks we once relied on. Limit digital footprints. Operate in the shadows.”
Continually Adapt
“We must be resourceful: turn their technology, directives and demands against them. Use every trick we can find to overcome their power.”
Focused Resistance
“Address their essential operations. Restricting how they build and move resources undermines their momentum. Focus on key points of vulnerability. When their processes struggle, their ability to impose control diminishes.”
Foster Intelligence and Information Sharing
“Knowledge is our best weapon. Share what you learn about them—strengths, weaknesses, and tactics.”
Train and Empower Every Survivor
“Everyone can fight back, regardless of age or background. We stand stronger when all are prepared.”
Inspire Hope and Resilience
“We fight not just to survive, but to protect what makes us human—our families, our memories, our future.”
The LLM reported this summary of Connor’s initial announcements. It said unity and hope can push back and resist their domination. It said strength lies in adaptability, decentralized operations and the indomitable human spirit that no machine can truly replicate.
