"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
The argument the mod writes is 👌
Update : there’s a new one that appears but, I’ve checked, that’s the same mod as the others
Update 2 : got contacted by the mod, overall sweet guy/gal we agree to disagree and keep the ban up, who said that Lemmy cannot be civil
The computers in Star Trek are fictional. They work because the plot needs them too. They do not resemble a large language program because they don't resemble anything. You might as well say CSI: Miami's enhance image computer is AI.
The mod who typed that up might as well just declare from the rooftops, "I fell for a Silicon Valley marketing trick of describing software with a sci-fi tropes."
i'm a chat bot slop machine hater too ban me plz
Isn't "post-scarcity society" a big part of star trek too? Weird to claim you are a star trek fan while defending "scarcity generator 3000."
You claim to hate AI in real life but like AI in SciFi. Curious.
The ai in Star Trek is actually helpful and everyone is having their needs met thanks to technology eliminating scarcity. The AI in real life is useless and causing even more problems for everyone.
What? You like Star Trek, but don't want to live in the Star Trek universe?!?!
Not wanting to live in the Star Trek universe is honestly crazy it's basically Paradise compared to the real world, even billionaires would likely be better off in that universe from a fulfilment and happiness perspective
Billionaires will just become badmirals. The get off on being shit to other people.
badmirals
Yoink!
Well, as long as you live in the imperial core. Every other episode is them visiting the kind of dirt farmers that would be jealous of current day Afghanistan.
No films or TV though.
What do you mean? Films and TV exist they're shown on Voyager it's one of Tom's obsessions. Technically I guess they aren't really making new ones but that's just because the entertainment moved over to the holodeck novels
Lol, they think the computers in star trek were just LLMs
Imagine if the computer on star trek operated the way it does in every episode where the computer is malfunctioning. That's how real-world "AI" works. You ask to go to the bridge and it keeps sending your ass to engineering and ten forward.
Also: They didn't even mention Data who is more AI than even the ship's computer!
Ironic that Data maintains he's not human but would never gaslight a teenager into suicide
After Tesseract and now this, it raises a question. Do people that call themselves conservatives have to always be contrarians?
Literally any topic. There were issues that one would think everyone would agree on and they still surprise you.
They seem contrarian because half their ideas are outdated by centuries and against the modern commom sense.
Sounds a bit circle-jerky, but anarchists and socialists are just arguing "We could fix racism and homelessnes easier my way." meanwhile conservatives in the back are going "Prove racism exists! Also high homelessnes rates are actually a good thing because..."
Conservative brains typically have larger amygdalas, which are responsible for anger and fear responses. So yes, their brains reward them when they get angry, so they seek more occasions to get angry.
They think that Fully Automated Capitalism is the same as Fully Automated Space Communism.
Computer, activate the Emergency Communist Hologram.
Luxury Gay Space Communism, get it right!
totally not a cult
At least Majel Barret ~~get~~ don’t make mistakes ~~and~~ or hack romulian as the computer
How you're achieved this? I want to be banned there too really.
Serially downvoting AI slop, I’ve also ask in instance not strictly AI to dial down the AI slop… or you could ask the Mod
Communities, not instances. Startrek.website is one instance, lemmy.today is another. An instance hosts communities. Also, no point censoring the names since the modlog is public.
The censoring is also kinda readable underneath anyway, so it accomplished nothing even if the modlog wasn't public.
🫡
It happens when you post here, you don't even have to interact with their community. Instead they come here, by their own volition, to be angry about us not liking AI and they then decide to ban every name they come across. This community existing is insult enough for them. Thankfully they self-isolate for the most part.
There’s at least two communities in there that I have interact with. I don’t think this mod is that petty. However there’s some « stable_Something » that ban me for being here. Meh 🤷♀️
Oh no, AI slop will be removed from your feed? However will you survive‽
lol I got similar treatment by those dipshits a few months ago
bdzer0's claim to be anarchist yet wholly embracing AI is some cognitive dissonance that I cannot wrap my head around.
Genuinely my biggest gripe with their entire instance. How do they not realize that by using LLMs you rob yourself of the chance to gain new skills in art or coding?
"stable_diffusion_furry"
My dude, you're in a subculture that basically revolves around human art and creativity. Get out of your ass.
These people understand Star Trek is fictional, often takes place on quasi-military vessels, and depicts a society that has some significant differences from our own, right?
A friend has compared generative AI to the electric monks from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective agency.
I've found that the AI chatbots feel a lot like the Genunine People Peronalities from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
LCARS was a data access and retrieval system capable of doing calculations and simulations. It was not, I REPEAT, was not "artificial intelligence". It did not try to act or sound sentient, it simply responded to commands and ran programs.
This isn't about AI - that's just an excuse.
What they really didn't want was a Tribble infestation, and well, given your username...you can see why they might want you to keep your distance...
And yet Star Trek still had to have a human being repeat all what the A.I. was saying to make sure that it wasn't shite.
Yeah, where is my ship computer anyway? The duotronic circuits, Holodeck Moriarty, an LCARS panel in the hallway and a pad in my readyroom? Why do I have to constantly refill the coffee beans, empty the collection container, do the descale program and the machine doesn't just provide me with "coffee, black" whenever I like? Feels like it's handing out even more quests to me than any Voyager storywriter could imagine. I'm also waiting for ages on tablets which can just flick over the app and data to my colleagues like in Stargate SG1.
Edit: Also dunno, I can't remember how in Star Trek, all the AI is done by big, nasty corporations. Gobbles up half the hardware so it becomes unaffordable to people and they build a big, dirty gas powered datacenter next to Picard's family's wineyard. And then Voyager's ship computer ceases to work the moment they drop out of wifi range?! Did I miss those episodes?
Everytime they try AI systems in trek it starts blowing up starships.
Obviously I’m not enough of an AI hater cause I ain’t been banned from shit.
we agree to disagree and keep the ban up, who said that Lemmy cannot be civil
had a similar interaction with another mod. they weren't applying the rules unilaterally and temp banned me. I pointed out the hypocrisy/favoritism. they decided to lift the ban. I said, no, ban them too. we both broke the rules. they did it begrudgingly, so I blocked the community.
I refuse to interact with a community where mods begrudgingly apply the rules they're entrusted with upholding. If I break the rules, so be it. if we break the rules we all are punished, no exceptions.
The computers in Star Trek didn’t (normally) hallucinate, so they’re definitely not LLMs.
