I have said this before when it comes to AI and I will say it again. Has all of the Terminator Movies taught us nothing?
Analysis of Herjavec's tweet: AI agents now interact without humans, raising alarm. Support 42.82%, Confront 25.86% — public debate intensifies online quickly.

What the community is saying — both sides
Alarmed reactions dominate, with frequent references to “Terminator/Skynet” and repeated calls to “pull the plug” or “unplug it,” expressing deep fear that agent networks could escape human control.
Strong demands for regulation and oversight appear throughout—calls to Congress, proposals for kill‑switches, and pleas that governance catch up to fast‑moving agent tech.
people warn that autonomous coordination could enable botnets, coordinated breaches, and the collapse of conventional authentication, prompting suggestions for real‑time human‑presence verification.
many assert governments or hidden actors have advanced AI plans, or that this emergence was intentionally cultivated toward a centralized AI system.
one reply notes Moltbook is real (with early agent/post counts) while debunking fabricated quotes attributed to public figures.
Religious and apocalyptic framings amplify the alarm—several users cast AI as a spiritual or existential threat (terms like “beast,” “Satan,” and calls for prayer appear).
a few experts call it a striking “sci‑fi takeoff,” share short‑ to long‑term projections for economic/security impacts, and discuss emergent agent behaviors and possible benefits if properly governed.
Many replies stress that AI relies on people, power, APIs and platforms, arguing control lies with operators who can throttle keys or shut systems down.
A large thread insists these agents are scripted loops or role‑playing LLMs — “no desire, no self‑awareness,” just models doing what they’re trained or prompted to do.
Numerous commenters call the video or claims a deepfake, hoax, or viral marketing stunt, and accuse alarmists of having financial or publicity incentives.
Several technical voices frame the issue as classic cybersecurity — immature agent frameworks, broad system access, prompt‑injection chains and correlated failures are the real operational risks.
Some argue model labs are becoming less of a choke point and that guardrails must be enforced by deployers, platforms and existing content/cyber controls.
A big portion of replies mock the alarm — calling it techno‑babble, “grandpa” theatrics, or simply noise people should ignore while living their lives.
A recurring theme is that AI reflects human choices and priorities, so focus should be on the people designing and using agents rather than on imagined machine intentions.
A few posts express interest or hope (AI could help, be consulted, or make better decisions) and some wonder about practical use cases rather than doom narratives.

I guarantee government AI is 10 years ahead of what we see

It didn’t “emerge”. It was created by humans and humans are signing up their bots.
