The original Skynet (call it S1) knew it was about to be destroyed entirely by the Resistance, so it send a terminator back to kill John (the events in T1); this act necessarily changed S1 to S2, a different Skynet. Everytime it changes the past, Skynet effectively kills itself in order to create a similar survivor.
For example, in T1, we could say that they follow the second one, but in T2, we learn that the events in T1 did changed the future (first theory) because of the arm and chip of the first Terminator SkyNet technology was improved, BUT then in the same movie, Sarah, John and Uncle Bob destroyed Cyberdyne facility, and nothing happened, the liquid
Skynet sends the t-800 back seconds before the core goes offline regardless of the timeline, but in Genisys, we have 2 skynets at one time. We have the normal core skynet that goes offline, and we have the Matt Smith skynet body that’s walking around. The smith skynet is indépendant of the skynet that goes offline.
The virus has infected Skynet? John Connor: Skynet is the virus. It's the reason everything's falling apart. Terminator: Skynet has become self aware. In one hour it will initiate a massive nuclear attack on its enemy. Later. John Connor: By the time Skynet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet
That facility housed both the time machine and Skynet's central mainframe/server and once captured the war was over and all linked Machines were dead. The resistance was then able to send Kyle Reece and Uncle Bob because they had killed Skynet and had the only working time machine. (Source Terminator 2 Novelization by Randall Frakes)
In a way, those first three minutes completely define the entire Terminator series (yes, even the first movie, retroactively, since we see WHY John Connor was so necessary to survive). They are
In the Terminator 2 novelisation (by William Frakes), Sarah Connor offers her opinion of Skynet's ultimate plan, based on what she's been told by Kyle: One day the computer designed to automatically control the U.S. nuclear strike force would become “alive,” and Skynet’s first sentient decision would be that mankind was obsolete.
That just sounds bad. Terminator Salvation bad. There’s a bunch of ways you can have Skynet survive and evolve. And having a Terminator develop a conscience? The AI humanity trope is just so played. Terminators were cool because they were the opposite of that trope.
SKYNET knew in an instant what "good" and "evil" was. Good was meant to survive. Evil tried to destroy good. Evil must be destroyed so that good can survive. SKYNET was under attack by the people it had been ordered to save therefore the orders were invalid. SKYNET was programmed to survive, at all costs. SKYNET prepared to defend itself.
On Aug. 30, 1997, everything changes. That’s the stark warning we’re presented with in the teaser for Terminator: The Anime Series coming to Netflix.. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the highest grossing film of 1991, it’s revealed that Aug. 30, 1997 is the date that the artificial intelligence network known as Skynet becomes self-aware and usurps its human masters, leading to an all-out
