Is Division 12 from SNW related to Division 14 from "Much Ado About Boimler"?

The directors of the last four (five?) Star Trek movies in development also created a version of Star Trek no one ever saw.

New Movie Directors Developing A “Version Of Star Trek That No One’s Ever Seen Before” https://bit.ly/trekdirectors2sdcc2026

Bernie hasn't tried this on here yet but here he is doing free marketing for OpenAI. He has been captured by the worst people in AI for a few years now and has been parroting company hype talking points instead of guarding against them. It’s like the public is being assaulted from all sides.

So they're saying if you're Catholic you can refuse to use AI at work because the pope said so. And then, if they fire you, you can sue. If this is true, I might convert. #AI #Tech

This is an absolutely wonderful recap of Star Trek III and its place in 1980s summer cinema. It totally gives the lie to the myth of the bad odd-numbered Star Trek movie. Only one nitpick: The ending would be *way* longer than it already is if we had to watch them climb the steps.

greetings thrustericans! it's time to JOIN THE SEARCH! for more money? maybe, but in one of those rare, occasions the search for filthy lucre yields an emotional feast of character and franchise firsts - so join us on the search for spock! #startrek #movies #tv #tvwriting #screenwriting

You mean Apple, the company that famously created MacOS completely from scratch and didn't steal the design from anyone?

Apple alleges OpenAI improperly obtained trade secrets tied to the iPhone maker’s hardware development through former Apple employees as the AI company expands into consumer devices.

@alextperry.bsky.social @trekranks.com I really enjoyed the first episode of Warp Factor 5! Great job, you guys! Can't wait to hear more, Alex!

Not AI. Penguin Random House created an unburnable copy of the Handmaid's Tale. Printed on fire-resistant paper and bound with a flame retardant cover, the book was auctioned off. The still is from the promotional video where Atwood took a flamethrower to it. Fuck Gilead. #booksky

RIP Marcia Lucas. And thank you. x

What word is your spelling nemesis? This is a safe space.

There's a character in Galápagos, the 1985 novel by Kurt Vonnegut, who has created a computer called the Mandarax that can understand natural language, translate languages, and answer questions on many topics -- it's basically an LLM. His wife does ikebana (Japanese flower arrangements) and she […]

Hell yeah. This is my favorite Marvel show, it's a crime they didn't make more of it.

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

My hope is that Star Trek will be stuck in development hell for the next few years, during which time the AI bubble will pop, Oracle will go bankrupt, and Paramount will get a new owner. That's the best case scenario.

Harsh. Totally fair, but harsh.

I'm watching Star Trek: First Contact and it's really jumping out at me that they forgot to do make-up on the hands of this Borg extra. #NitpickersGuide

I'd rather see the end of Trek than see the property in the hands of fucking fascists.

I see the #Firefox "block AI" setting has arrived. It's clearly labeled and easy to find in Settings. It would be even better if #AI were deactivated by default, but I give #Mozilla credit for listening to the criticism. It's still a million percent better than Google Chrome.

It's been a while since I've read an original criticism of AI, but LLMs as Stepford Wives is a pretty amazing one. I'm never going to be able to unsee it. https://abiawomosu.substack.com/p/they-built-stepford-ai-and-called #AI

Women’s “ick” for AI isn’t technophobia or a gap to close. It’s wisdom to act on.
