Terminator 2 AI Profit Realism

Just rewatched T2 - the most unrealistic part of the film wasn't the time travel or the robots, it was the tech executive who isn't a narcissist & is willing to give up personal riches when he learns that trying to profit off self-aware AI will destroy the entire world.

A screenshot pairs a cynical post about rewatching Terminator 2 with a close-up of the Terminator and a robotic hand. The joke is that the truly unrealistic part of the film is imagining a tech executive who would sacrifice personal wealth to prevent self-aware AI from destroying the world. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to AI companies and profit-driven technology.
