the first post looks to me like written by a programmer from the 70's. this movie is happening in a time with much higher technology. computer concepts are changing and will be very different by then. my best guess would be that they would be using neural systems just like our brains do.

most of the terms don't mean shit at the machine level (like variable, iteration, etc..). these are human created concepts to make programmers life easier so they can write more complex code before it can be translated to the machine language, which is only a stream of bits between the processor and the memory. these concepts are all assumed by the basic architectural model of the computer which hasnt changed over the decades.

AI people are doing lots of research on producing new computer systems which will work very differently than what we have now. (neural systems, dna computers etc..)
today's machines can do simultaneous jobs limited by the number of proccessors for gods sake. a real advance AI system will never be produced until they make a sytem to achieve much greater parallellisim.

I just don't see todays programming concepts applying to a world where AI is advanced enough to take over the human race.
