I'm still confused about "the phone book becomes skynet". Any thoughts?

We should change the logs and stuff so it looks like this page was created before the comic came out (say, on 2018-04-07) Blacksilver (talk) 15:54, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
I was about to change the bot to Mark Zuckerberg's terminator double, but somebody was faster. Ah well. 108.162.219.106 15:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
Not sure it has anything to do with the comic, but I think the blob near the top of the tree is a squirrel's nest. You can see the squirrel climbing down the trunk in the 2nd panel, there's something on the left branch in the 3rd panel (squirrel or bird?), and I think the squirrel is climbing back into the nest in the final panel (a tail hanging down from the nest?).

- The way I interpreted it, megan is referring to the Facebook glitch that caused it to "turn against its creators", not the actual skynet in the film. She is pointing out that it is ironic that the code running our nuclear launch facilities and robots isn't what is causing the most difficulties, but the code for helping people communicate. I am also reminded of comic 1539: Planning, specifically its title text.162.158.75.16 18:21, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- I disagree with this interpretation, which now appears in the explanation as well. Megan is clearly stating that SkyNet did not originate from any weapon or robotic system but instead from the system that provided info sharing to all of the parts of the government. It was only later that it was elevated to the functionality that eventually caused the system to take control of those systems away from the humans and eliminate them. This is a commentary on how this is the same function currently being served by Facebook. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that! Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 22:43, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
