I didn't know the T-1000 lore, but this article did make me immediately think of the potential for a hard-wired AI model that can learn via updating the physical connections – that's basically how human brains work, except biologically.

alan.campbell99 Hmm, perhaps they can secure funding before OpenAI and Anthropic hoover up all that's available. I recall a scifi novel, The mote in god's eye. The aliens in the story, as I recall, could do a form of rewiring/repair of their devices rather than having to physically replace something like the humans would. It's been a while since I read it but that is my recollection. Reply

Except that's not how the human brain works. The human brain is essentially pure software. Its physical wiring is fixed. Reply

In case you didn't know, caterpillars turn into formless goo, inside their cocoons, and then re-form into butterflies. Not relevant to this liquid metal tech, but it's the ultimate in reconfigurability! BTW, there's been some debate about whether they can hold any memories across this metamorphosis. Someone tried an experiment which seemed to show they can, but I seem to recall there being some controversy over whether that experiment really showed what it seemed to, or if it was somehow flawed.
