DS9 was the most un-Star Trek series of the pre-2005 shows. TNG was the closet to Roddenberry's vision, and Voyager despite it's flaws and a really bad start with the Kazon arc developed into a refinement of everything made TNG great IMO. That's not to say DS9 isn't awesome in it's own right but there's a very un-Roddenberry strand of darkness and cynicism in DS9 that has plagued the franchise ever since. Enterprise couldn't really even shake it off and that might be what doomed that show. Well that and the theme song.
If I get extremely manic one day I might redesign that table for ya Cicero.
Could use sortable columns and table headers that scroll with the page, maybe alternating row highlight as well. Only if I'm feeling manic though, most days I'm a lazy dev.
Well my hope that the show would go beyond just being mid-tier at best has not been met with this opener. But then when Akiva "Hack" Goldsman's name is attached as the writer that's to be expected I guess. My main takeaways from this episode:
WTF is with the super soldier serum? Never before in Trek has this stuff been mentioned or used. Not even in THIS SHOW's previous season when it could have come in handy or even saved lives multiple times. Why TF aren't all officers carrying a hypospray of this syrum at all times? I'm calling this stuff Bullshit Juice from now on.
Why the holy goddamn hell are they trying to introduce another war arc? Strange New Worlds was supposed to be the optimistic TOS/TNG style show. This whole episode was pretty much darkness that hinged on fighting and blowing up ships.
Pike, the captain of the ship, is in this episode for one scene at the start then fucks off to go see Una. Another first because there has never been a Star Trek show that started a season without it's captain. Pike was sidelined a whole lot in season one as well. I'm starting to think he's a guest star in his own show.
And why the Gorn??? This pre-TOS show is threatening a Gorn war story when Kirk in TOS didn't know that species at all when the Metrons force him to fight one. Young Kirk is on this show. What the fucking fuckity fuck?
This show seems to be getting worse, just when I thought nuTrek couldn't disappoint me more.
Yeah the Presonus Eris are prolly the best reference monitors in their price range. Not sure monitors are the best option for OP though since they're meant to not color or enhance the sound like regular speakers. I don't really have a regular speaker recommendation though since I've been a headphones guy for like ever. So *shrug*
Really shows the point of the API change isn't even money when they ignore potential customers. The point has always been to kill the 3rd party ecosystem.
If they held to today they're down a lil over 58%. Oof. Not a gender thing though, most investors have that one play where they went long at what turned out to be the top. If this group is smart they quickly switched to short side plays to ride the downtrend then went long again when the bleeding stopped. I mean that or some yolo DCA shit who knows with cryptobroads.
Fair enough, the last paragraph is my thoughts on AI and a good TLDR, the rest is complaining about the types that wax poetic about the superiority of humanity vs computers.
Having now read the article I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of this flowery humanist language by those wary of AI. It all tends to boil down to the same underlying theme that the works of AI are unnatural, soulless and only that which comes directly from a human's toil can ever be soulful, mindful or transcendent. Lots of warnings that AI has the potential to rob us of some innate essence that makes humanity and our doings so great etc. etc.
It's all a bit too luddite and short-sighted for my liking. It's a philosophy that ascribes this haughty sense of holiness to human consciousness and what it produces. I'm of the mind that our brains and the consciousness therein are just biological machines, moving electrons and writing memories no different than computers. Love is a chemical cocktail. Hate much the same. That we see, say, a beautiful painting that moves us isn't due to the humanity of the painter but to that painting triggering mental processes in us that cause specific chemicals to hit specific receptors in a process we define as the experience of emotion. I find it ludicrous to say AI producing the same result in us is somehow less valid because AI did it instead of another person.
I mentioned the short-sighted nature these types of arguments tend to have. They almost never play the technology forward to when AI LLMs are all but obsolete and we're in the realm of AGI. What happens to these flowery notions of the primacy of consciousness when the AIs are conscious? Does the art AI creates then suddenly gain this mythic soulfulness these types of arguments deny they posses today?
It seems like these arguments are setting up this budding sort of AI racism, getting their "Humans are better because humanity FTW, philosophy" all ready just in case some AI gets uppity one day and starts calling itself a person.
Anyway my philosophy on AI is to let it do all the things. Let it capture every industry, every job, all of it. Let the AI and robots do everything and get them to the point where they do it all amazingly well. Let humans finally fucking chill out. We are due as a species for some fully automated, leisurely, heaven on earth type living. Everyone free to do whatever they want whenever they want. No work unless you want to work on something while surrounded by awesome tech we can only dream of because AI figured out some crazy sci-fi level physics and now we can teleport and have holodecks and not age and shit. All these "but muh humanity" motherfuckers need to go like read some poetry and just stay out of the way.
That we should promote the site with a "Free the Fap" event to destigmatize public masturbation. I think it was more like people didn't get that I was joking.
Wipes FTW. Back in my broke days I knew I was living large when I could afford to splurge on mouthwash and baby wipes. It was like ghetto fabulousness achieved.
I mean yeah you can go to Google News and search for "craft of non-human origin" and there's a bunch of results detailing the same story. Two ex military intel guys with top secret clearance whistleblowing about recovered alien craft with one having given a classified congressional report on it. Crazy stuff.
Greentext option seems a lil hidden. Like it's not something you can just select in the comment editor, you gotta know it requires a leading greater-than symbol. Maybe you chan vets are used to it but it's new to a Reddit refugee like myself.

I like the sequel, "Dropping Acid and Going to the Park" as well.

Ha, Angus everyone knows your shart shaft is all loose and flappy.

My episode rating: *Sigh*
I checked out kbin, was surprised how active it was but didn't join. I dunno, Mainchan just has more soul or something.
A lot of the subs are saying they're blacked out indefinitely. Guess we'll see which ones really have the cahones to keep at it.
Nice. I have it on a playlist I listen to every now and then. Song rocks.

They need more subs to join the protest. RN reddit's algo is promoting the subs that didn't go dark to make it look like business as usual.

Yeah no I checked, they stayed long all the way down. They dumb. Seem wealthy regardless though so that probably takes the sting off.

Y'know there's a whole sub for this type of post: s/reddithasfallen

Looks cool. I'll have to try it out next time I hit a paywall.
Doing God's work, thanks anon.
