Have all those self-driving cars passed the driving tests that human drivers are required to pass? Shouldn’t that be a requirement? Like, not a simulation, but a literal test, with the examiner in the car, giving the same directions they would give to a person. And every software update would need to pass such a test.

I hope they come back with something more optimistic and upbeat than the needlessly edgy SG:U. I get that drama and conflict are needed, but a main cast that’s constantly fighting gets tiresome really quickly.

Remember, this happened some years ago.

Practice makes perfect! If you don’t succeed, try, try again!

That’s another good choice!

I don’t think that’s K’Ehleyr. Looks like one of the Duras sisters.

One of the points Picard made (with regards to Data’s violin playing) was that, in choosing two reference performers with radically different styles as his basis, he made a creative choice and created something new.

Unfortunately, we can see how this argument falls apart now in the way that AI slop gets produced.

Kinda surprised no one here has mentioned the Barney Miller theme, even though it’s pretty old. It’s a banging jazz fusion tune.

Frog has long been a slur for French people. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to work out the rest.

That’s not realistic. They’d never use real names like “Bobby”.

When you see how Riker sits down, you have to concede that so-called “normal” chairs just don’t cut it.

What’s the point of smartphone colors that will get completely covered by the phone case? And don’t tell me phone cases are not necessary, I’ve accidentally dropped my phone enough times!

(I’m on my 4th smartphone in about 12 years, and I’ve never scratched or cracked a screen)

Users have somehow been trained to ignore and dismiss error messages. Probably from getting too many ad pop-ups.

I heard countertop banana stand owners tend to also own banana hammocks.

Can we get Huey Lewis’s take on this?

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

I love Bakshi’s LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it’s so epic!

Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.

I don’t like the idea of restricting the model’s corpus further. Rather, I think it would be good if it used a bigger corpus, but added the date of origin for each element as further context.

Separately, I think it could be good to train another LLM to recognize biases in various content, and then use that to add further context for the main LLM when it ingests that content. I’m not sure how to avoid bias in that second LLM, though. Maybe complete lack of bias is an unattainable ideal that you can only approach without ever reaching it.
