/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Remember when La Forge goes to an AI conference and gains assassin skills? Or when Worf's spine is repaired through gen-AI-tronics. And don't forget about the GenAI people who eradicated the gender problem from society.

Sorry, couldn't help it. I do appreciate the actual shout-out to AI in the La Forge example, as well as the prophetic brainwashing that ensues.

We had a really different idea about what's AI was going to be like or be used for back when TNG was created. Along the many things Data represents one of the themes surrounding him is the definition of life including the sentiments and meaning that we invest in the world around us.

No, it's easy to forget that we had a pretty optimistic idea of what actual artificial intelligence could help us with before 2018 when it became clear that it was being built to resemble literal markets and probably won't ever progress past that kind of concept.
