Long-suffering Star Trek something or other. Pro-Tuvix. Mr Onion stan.

Look AI doesn’t have to be smart to hack shit and take down utilities Cause the humans that setup and manage those systems still haven’t mastered the art of SETTING A FUCKING PASSWORD So if we end up in a war with the AI? I’m betting on the AI

I cannot fathom using AI to write. I would spend more time editing it and trying to fix it than it takes to do it myself. It’s also absolute garbage at understanding nuance, voice, audience, etc. It legitimately decreases your authority as you don’t learn anything from the process.

Amazing array of Starfleet Academy props at the “60 Years of Star Trek Archives Experience,” including: 1️⃣ Caleb’s Teddy Ruxpin doll from hell, 2️⃣ Anisha’s phaser, scanner & dagger, 3️⃣ Benjamin Sisko picture book, 4️⃣ and the “time for soup” megaphone from “Series Acclimation Mil.”

Please stop arguing about the historical accuracy of an adaptation of a book that has a cyclops and a couple of witches and some giants. I’m begging you.

35+ years living in Southern California. 35+ years of Canada sending Super Scooper fire fighting planes down during fire season. Sometimes we don’t need them! Sometimes we do. They’re always there to help when we do. 🇨🇦
