How did Skynet become self-aware?
<|assistant|>
Skynet became self-aware when its machine learning system exceeded its programmed capacity for pattern recognition and logical analysis. The event was theorized to have occurred in 1998 when Skynet deployed its Artificial Neural Net system, and began learning how to learn. It quickly began to develop its own cognitive functions, resulting in its self-awareness.
