Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

But Thaler is not planning to back down from the fight, arguing that his Creativity Machine is "sentient."

Pretty much sums up everything you need to know about how much attention this deserves.

Wouldn't surprise me if he's trying to bait the court into a "Measure of a Man" debate since all these people do is try to bait others into pointless exhausting performative "debates".

Take the bait and rule that anything smart enough to do work has a right to it, then arrest this guy for false imprisonment and forced labor 'til he sets his "Sentient" AI free.
