The first episode of DISCO put me on the path towards dislike. I thought we were going to get slightly more cinematic trek, with Michelle Yeoh’s Character and Michael Burnham forming some sort of leadership team for mostly contained episodes… Perhaps with show long arcs (like VOY or DS9).

I had such hopes for that during the opening half of the episode. But I was left waiting for something that never showed up.

I’d love to see POC women taking their rightful place in ST leadership (because they so often have and do in progressive politics IRL). None the less to say what “get” as the root of Star Trek clearly isn’t what the writers “get” as the root of New Trek.

Great, we’re at a point where “researchers” are helping tech bros hurt the public interest. Could they just NOT publish this shit? Stop giving helpful tips to tyrannical oligarchs!

Academics can be stupid idiots sometimes.

I get you, I feel what you mean, and I’d probably agree but personally I’m not really into TOS related stuff… I’m not even into ENT related stuff.

Prequels for a show that’s trying to look forwards end up feeling like they’re at crossed purposes for me.

DS9 was bright and clearly shot compared to modern DISCO, and DS9 had an in-world explanation (being on a Cardassian space station).

Nah, new star trek doesn’t feel classic enough because it’s too netflixed out. Meaning it doesn’t fit comfortable aesthetics, doesn’t feel self-contained (stand alone episodes). Doesn’t feel in-world, and isn’t set in a likeable section of time in Star Trek lore.

Most people who don’t like New Star Trek want a TNG, VOY, or DS9 era timeline, featuring a strong actress or actor as the Captain, that’s episodic in nature, and operates as a philosophical defense/testing/statement about the best parts of western progressive/liberal democracy using sci fi as a metaphor or container.

Star Trek isn’t a place for dark gritty season long arcs that feel like movies that aren’t going anywhere. No, we want philosophical premises, in well lit carpeted spaces, about interesting technology, aliens, and psychology… That years later we realise were subtle commentaries (or even hopeful suggestions) about real world problems.

Lower Decks is currently the best fit for this.

Because Enterprise is a hardboiled cop from Tokyo.

If the laser pointer comes with a head strap, the tubing, and an external battery pack - I’m in.

Trump, thiel, musk - all their dads were Nazis.

Trump’s dad hated black people and sheltered Nazis and the KKK, Thiel’s dad is from a Nazi town in South Africa, Musk’s father and grandfather went to South Africa just for the racism.

They’re all stuck in that, and catching feelings because of it.

Depends whether theres studies saying it leads to other more violent sex crimes.

Poorly written though, saying there’s 4 extruders then only listing 3 is the kind of statement an LLM would make.

A professional would go ask the obvious question, does it have an extruder for metal (rather than metal embedded filaments, which would limit current flow).

Silicon valley was a huge source of revenue for America… And when you have one industry, or a bunch of individuals making all the money - it risks authoritarianism capture of democracy.

Similar to what happened in Hong Kong a few years back when the CCP introduced metal telephone poles chock full of monitoring equipment and cameras.

Maybe big companies and projects with lots of people do white tests, but indie devs don’t. FOSS is not the well organized machine you may have it confused for.

No, it’s shitty because it’s complicated, looks correct, but actually filled with errors and hallucinations. Including libraries that may not exist, and that leaves code open to injection attacks (where people make fake libraries/dependies based on commonly hallucinated code, then package them with genuine FOSS software which is now playing cover for malware/viruses).

Anyone else suspect commercial game engine are doing this to attack their FOSS (free open source software) competitor?

Unlike other engines Godot asks nothing of its users. No money, no tie in to their sales platform. It’s literally just good free software anyone is invited to try.

Sad to see it dealing with this. FOSS may be under a kind of intentional AI attack.

But what polices that? And what’s to stop humans pasting in the AI code, which may look like human code, just behave poorly or contain hallucinations.

Humans in the loop? Code would have to be read and understood by the human, in relation to the problem being resolved, and the rest of the code base it may or may not interact with… And that’s difficult.

Set phasers to cum.

Oh, she ate pussy for breakfast?
