I read the old Philip k Dick story a couple days ago that Terminator is based on.

One side of a world war made robots that were built, run, and designed by AI without any human input

Things went great till the AI designed around all the safety and neither side even knew what the AI was doing.

Oh my God, someone else who reads PKD’s Second Variety. It has stuck with me ever since I’ve read it.

  It’s not very well known. I’ve got a bunch of of books of his short stories and never heard of that one.
  
  It’s easy to forget the amount of work scifi writers of that time pumped out. They were paid practically nothing and most of them (def PKD) wouod just take a shit ton of meth and write for days.
  
  They were producing work nonstop for decades.
