  For what? “Hey Grok, which country should we invade next?”

  Ah yes, selling me something that is already available but is just locked behind software. And then trying to frame that as somehow a good thing for customers. Just insulting.

  True, I may not have given SNW the chance it deserved. I’ve watched all 3 seasons of Picard though and almost 2 seasons of Discovery

  For me, Star Trek was mostly about a possible brighter future. Humanity overcame the issues on earth, no longer relies on money/capitalism, etc. When your watch the crew on TNG, they are acting professionally and with a code of ethics.

  Discovery is so miserable. Everyone is angry all the time, there’s racism, lots of unnecessary drama, people acting extremely unprofessionally. Same with Picard. Especially sour about how they made one of the best characters - Q - also very serious and miserable. He could’ve been the comedic relief the series needed, without undermining the rest of the story. The “Picard speeches” are just badly written too, so whimsical and empty.

  We have a million dystopian Sci-fi series already, why do we need more? I feel writers are no longer able to tell compelling stories without fake drama. It’s possible to engage with modern day issues in a different way, especially by showing how to be better.

  I’ve watched the first couple episodes with no expectations, didn’t hate them, didn’t love them… I don’t really know why - just didn’t click with me. Might give it another shot!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, after Picard and Discovery I’m pretty much done with “New Trek”, I’ve lost my interest. For this I’m not even the target audience - this seems aimed at teens / young adults. And it’s once again produced by Alex Kurzman. So… yeah, I’m gonna give it a pass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Large Language Models in Video Games?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, LLMs are too costly for this and require a cloud service, smaller models could run on the client. The main difficulty is getting the training data and preparing it for machine learning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get this advocacy either, makes me wonder why? Constructing a nuclear power plant usually takes decades, they are not a solution for the more immediate problem climate change. They also introduce lots of new problems, and it’s not sustainable either.

  The interesting part is, if they say the game is complete or at least in “1.0” shape, it will suddenly mean that people will judge it as a product and not just a vision. CIG won’t call it finished as long as they possibly can.
