I agree.  Was so disappointed they went back to the Borg well, AGAIN!

The Conspiracy bugs were also part of Trek lore.

As a Trek fan who grew up watching reruns of TOS before Next Gen premiered, I really, really, really, tried to like Discovery, even just tolerate it.  But for me, it just wasn’t Star Trek.

Just Raffi, please.

Corporate-only control over AI is what I fear most, which is why I support OpenAI over other players on the field.

Sounds reasonable.  Aside from the age-gating aspect.  How is ChatGPT any worse than PornHub?  Or are they trying to protect ChatGPT from kids?  In which case their approach would seem more reasonable.

Nice callback!

Carlson’s approach sounds much more reasonable than the the approach CNET took. AI should be used as a tool, not as a replacement for humans.

I’ve been noticing that too.  Another article from Germain was oddly worded.

At least Sam Altman is aware of the risk, instead of shrugging it off.

OpenAI was founded as a non-profit in December 2015 with the mission to develop AGI that benefits humanity as a counterpoint to the for-profit ventures.

2. The concept of ownership is a capitalist conceit. All the artists worried about their art…

He likes to think so. But then, he likes to think a lot of things.

Yeah. If Filoni is involved, it is a hard pass for me.

Make Colossus be able to turn into flesh you cowards!

Sadly, this is true.  I hope our impending AI overlords treat us with kindness.

Thanks, Nick!  That is super awesome of you!  I really appreciate the heads up!
