Even if it’s not battery powered, I personally would be conscious of the energy inefficiency. But I would be fine with it going to sleep. I suppose it should also be possible to automatically wake it up if a person approaches, using a motion sensor.

What’s the power consumption on that? Does the screen go to sleep?

Are there actually people complaining that she’s ugly…? She literally looks like a model, just with some scars.

Biggus Dickus is next in line.

I bet that, by our human standards, Mr. Woof is still a far better father than most Klingons.

So it’s more like hate on O’Brienship, rather than Keiko?

Can somebody please explain the reason behind Keiko hate?

Yeah, I was gonna say I don’t remember anybody being gay in TNG. Am I missing something?

Oh, and IMO the cast of TNG is the opposite of emotional. They are calm and collected 90% of the time. 5% is Riker being horny, and the other 5% is Picard losing his shit over the amount of lights or something.

You can’t!

There’s poo in that nebula!

Yeah, I had kopi luwak in mind with this comment, although technically, people consume the undigested beans, clean off all the poo content :(

That’s respiration, I’m talking specifically defecation. I want alien poop! >:(

I wonder if the feces of certain alien species is like some serious gourmet shit to humans. And vice versa. Can we make a closed shit-eater ecosystem with a few species?

Thanks. Now I can upvote it without my OCD torturing me.

Oh wait, that comma is using a different font weight! 👀
I’m joking, I’m not that far gone. Yet…

Does he mean to say that he stepped into shit or into a “shit Sherlock”? Because if it’s the former, there needs to be another comma:

No, shit, Sherlock.

For some reason your response didn’t trigger a notification. I wonder why. This is the first time that I know of when I didn’t get one.

Serious question, can a downsize of an image be considered a lossy compression method?

I’m not redefining anything, I’m just pointing out that intelligence is not as narrow as most people assume, it’s a broad term that encompasses various gradations. It doesn’t need to be complex or human-like to qualify as intelligence.

A single if statement arguably isn’t intelligence, sure, but how many if statements is? Because at some point you can write a complex enough sequence of if statements that will exhibit intelligence. As I was saying in my other comments, where do we draw this line in the sand? If we use the definition from the link, which is:

The highest faculty of the mind, capacity for comprehending general truths.

Then 99% of animal species would not qualify as intelligent.

You may rightfully argue that term AI is too broad and that we could narrow it down to mean specifically “human-like” AI, but the truth is, that at this point, in computer science AI already refers to a wide range of systems, from basic decision-making algorithms to complex models like GPTs or neural networks.

My whole point is less about redefining intelligence and more about recognizing its spectrum, both in nature and in machines. But I don’t expect for everybody to agree, even the expert in the fields don’t.
