It's scary, but maybe not for the reasons that people would expect.
It's not Terminator taking over.

The US envoy Steve Witkoff has rejected a claim by Hamas that it's accepted an American plan for a truce in Gaza.
He denied the United States had backed any such proposal,
which reportedly involved a 60-day ceasefire and the release of 10 hostages.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made no mention of the proposal,
but said he hoped to make an announcement on the hostages within the next day.
The developments came as Israel continued its bombardment of Gaza and issued a new evacuation order for the city of Han Yunis.
One Israeli strike hit a school in Gaza City where hundreds of displaced people were sheltering.
Another strike on a home in Jabalia killed many members of one family.
