Yeah, that's also... Not the premise of Terminator. They have the wrong end of world as we know it AI scenario premise. Terminator deals with military AI being given control of the military and gaining self awareness, not of a self replicating self improving AI singularity. Skynet creates and improves more Terminators, it does not create new improved copies of itself.

Von Neumann machines is a common name for the concept the article is describing. The Matrix (in the Animatrix) also discusses machines reproducing and making more intelligent machines recursively.
