But I would still have to run the code and make sure its sound.

Oh I don't get it to write code for me. I just get it to explain stuff.

I've had two useful applications of "AI".

One is using it to explain programming frameworks, libraries, and language features. In these cases it's sometimes wrong or outdated, but it's easy to test and check to make sure if it's right. Extremely valuable in this case! It basically just sums up what everybody already said, so it's easier and more on-point than doing a google search.

The other is writing prompts and getting it to make insane videos. In this case all I want is the hallucinations! It makes some stupid insane stuff. But the novelty wears off quick and I just don't care any more.

It's real and it's dangerous, but it's also fake and it sucks.

Yep. Our destiny is space or annihilation.

The eventual annihilation of our species casts a shadow over everything we do. Because we're ultimately working for something temporary, which will be followed by ultimate death and infinite silence.

However, entering or exiting cities is a legit nightmare.

It's subjective, so this is just a gross explosion of branding. Cheapest astroturfing ever.

I just forked it. That one seems interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah and she was a good Romulan.

I'm not necessarily saying he was wrong (although his mission is a race to the bottom). And yeah, the victimization could explain his deterioration from a great man to a warped vengeance-seeking psycho. But as a character there was nothing interesting going on there. He's just a generic Bad Guy, for the plot.

But I like your points. It's nice to see some Khan appreciation!

The Wrath of Khan ruined Khan's character.

Khan was introduced in the episode Space Seed, where his crew of genetically-enhanced tyrants are discovered hibernating on a ship, having been kicked off Earth centuries before. It’s a wonderful episode about opposing moral perspectives, and we get the positive and negative views on both.

You could say it’s about slave/herd morality versus master/strength morality, or you could say it’s about compassionate humanism vs tyrannical domination. Both these perspectives are given their space in the episode.

Khan talks about how they were actually persecuted for their reproductive schemes, how that’s an infringement on their freedom. That makes him somewhat sympathetic, but at the same time he accepts nobody’s rules except his own.

The most interesting part is how the crew of the Enterprise are actually enamoured with the strength, charisma, and freedom of the tyrants. The final scene (after they defeat Khan) show the crew almost lamenting how they can’t do the kind of tyranny that Khan does. They want it, they kind of respect it, but they acknowledge the importance of equality and rule of law, so they almost-grudgingly agree that they did the right thing by defeating him.

When they defeat Khan they exile his crew once again to a harsh planet.

Ultimately the episode demonstrates why fascism will always be alluring to men and women, and also why it’s important to make sure that it doesn’t take over.

Then we get The Wrath of Khan. Khan is no longer charismatic. There’s no philosophical discussion. Just a revenge story. And this is somehow the version of Khan we remember!

You could argue that Khan’s vengeful turn is what happens when the spirit of freedom is crushed and ostracized. That would make a good arc, and a good psychological study. But none of that is discussed. He’s just a bitter, resentful loser who will stop at nothing to hurt Kirk. Khan as a character is ruined, and the story isn’t even ten percent as good as the episode where he was introduced.

Edit: I had the name of the episode wrong.
