Could SkyNet theoretically take over the world and launch a thermo-nuclear war against humans?
No.
Why not?
Wikipedia.
Here's my theory: SkyNet is launched from an advanced computer brain that becomes Johnny-5 Alive and decides to strike & Nazify the world by slaughtering all men, women, and children. They connect to other machines and computers through the world wide web. In the story, these machines basically become omnipotent since they can find out any information they need from each other and from information available on the web. The problem here is there is too much crap on the web.
Have you ever tried to find the name of a restaurant where you know about where it is, but are too lazy to do the research needed to accurately find the details of the location of said restaurant? So you base the search on streets, name of the shopping center, other simple stuff. When you search, you end up with a bunch of mapquest links, several phone numbers of places nearby, local reviews, and undoubtedly not too far down - some links to porn. Nothing there will give you the answer you are looking for.
The "machines" that take over our world aren't going to kill us all, they're gonna make us take them to dinner then have their way with us.
OR, like a T-888 comes back to kill some member of John Connor's army, but he got all his information from Wikipedia, MYspace, and message boards.
T-888: Are you Sean Winningham?
Sean: No, I am Sean Dellingham.
T-888: ...(AI searching database...analyzes the face of Sean Dellingham...subject appears in red...*likes to know "what you are wearing", *aka "sexmastergollum1983" on message boards, *known douche bag)...
(T-888 draws weapon, kills the Douche)
More importantly, I don't know why supercomputers would want to destroy all human-kind. Sure, the humans hate you, but maybe that's because you came to life and tried to kill them all for sport. I'm guessing we'll never stop trying to destroy your complex evil, twisted, superior AI network, but guess what? You launched a global effort to make Hitler look like a Tandy 2000 in minutes, no less. The idea that an AI system so intelligent could plot, terrorize, and basically shut the world down but yet not have the foresight to see any use for human slaves doesn't sit right with me. I'm not a fan of slavery. I'm not saying that. Really. They'd have to have some plan for the future. How could that NOT revolve around a Matrix kind of plot, farming humans for their energy and/or production value. We may produce tons of waste, but there is more value in squeezing us as slaves than destroying us all.
Imagine though, the machines win. All of their objectives are based on killing people. What happens when they accompish their mission? They have completely rid the world of any human existance. They go into "Standby"mode. The end? Can't be. There is less satisfaction than winning a game of Freecell. They need us as much as we need them. We give them purpose. They give us Halo and Call of Duty 4.
No.
