I don't know what else could make it any clearer but the world is already well into an AI terminator WW3.

What does this even mean? You've combined 3 completely unrelated terms in Ai, terminator and WW3 to create, well I'm not sure what you mean here....

In which way are they unrelated in a cultural context where Terminator the movie franchise is a thing?

In the context of the real world, which is where we live, and which is different from a fictional movie.

An AI terminator driven WW3 might make more sense. AI terminator being an AI programed to terminate people (that could go off the rails).

This seems to be a clickbait headline - where is the AI part? It was just a remotely controlled gun.

>Next, the report details how the sniper who took out Fakhrizadeh did so remotely from Israel, over 1,600 kilometers away, since the hit squad had long ago left Iran.

Terminator is a movie about how AI was given too much control over military resources and started WW3 in order to wipe out as much as possible of humanity in one go. This story is about the integration of AI into the military, in a way designed to kill humans.

It doesn't seem unrelated to me.

The NYT article mentioned facial recognition tech, as well as software which would compensate from the lag inherent in controlling the gun by satellite. Maybe the article considers one of those AI?
