...and yet, this episode was so emotionally empty, for all its efforts to evoke emotion. Maybe it’s because these characters can’t hold a candle to the likes of Shatner’s Kirk, Nimoy’s Spock, Stewart’s Picard, or Brook’s Sisko. In the end, I don’t blame the actors—I blame the writers and producers, who just aren’t up…

Encryption is largely a lie when it comes to security services.

It doesn’t matter that it was private. It doesn’t matter that it was potentially a joke. What *does* matter is the staggering cost of incorrectly ignoring a real terrorist threat, in millions of dollars and countless lives. Whereas the cost of over-reacting to a joke is a few hundred thousand dollars and jail time for…

I don’t care that this movie is directed by a Woman (I was actually looking forward to Patty Jenkins’ “Rogue Squadron”-Film until it was cancelled) and I definately have nothing against a SW-Film which features a Female Main Character (“Rogue One” is my favourite SW-Film made since Disney took over, and my…

The title has words “Marvel” and “AI” in it. That’s the point. If you can also incorporate the words “Taylor Swift” and “Pickleball”, they basically just hand you the entire company, Willy Wonka style.

TO ELABORATE

At the very least they should have tried to fix “IIII” to “IV.”

100%. Most modern clocks with roman numerals still use ‘IIII’ because it visually balances out ‘VIII’ better than ‘IV’. It’s a deliberate choice, and most people just don’t notice it.

Yeah.... Vintage clocks use IIII all the time.

Clockmakers specifically still use IIII a lot, either as tradition or artistic choice. One of the things I see a lot is that it divides the dial into three balanced segments, one with all I, one with V and one with X. Either way, finding out that there are plenty of clocks with IIII on them is an easy search, a bit…

Hey maybe just focus on the AI we know about instead of shit like this?

Nice... also, what’s the point of this article?  To tell me AI was used or that using AI is bad?

I find a certain irony that a website that has basically had an open editorial line of, “Woohoo, f**k you, AI users, eat s*** and die!” with regard to AI-generated images not being subject to copyright is now going to turn around and weep over a company taking an AI-generated image from a third-party site and using it…

Is this clock also AI?

This was truly painful to watch. Musical episodes are always bad, but this was particularly horrible. This isn’t why people watch Star Trek. Only episode of this show that I’ll never watch again.

Well it worked for me. Lost 70lb and have kept 90% of it off for over ten years.

VR has been pushed for years and I’ve never bought into it as more than a toy.

This is just inching us closer to the sunglasses from Free Guy, but instead of objectives and toys it’ll be dildos and Trump fund raiser spam.

I’ll agree with you about Ready Player One level VR, but I was playing virtual mini-golf and almost sat my IRL butt on a virtual rock the other day while waiting for my turn. Immersion is a spectrum, I guess.

Would you, though? More specifically, would you want everyone else to have them? Think of what a colossal moron the average driver is. Now remember about half of all drivers are worse than THAT. (I count myself in this number).
