"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
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

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.
Lol, they think the computers in star trek were just LLMs
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!
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.
totally not a cult
At least Majel Barret ~~get~~ don’t make mistakes and hack romulian as the computer
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.
Oh no, AI slop will be removed from your feed? However will you survive‽
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 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.
You don’t need to redact your rap sheet, it’s public.
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?
Everytime they try AI systems in trek it starts blowing up starships.
This isn't about AI. They just didn't want a Tribble infestation, and well, given your username...you can see why they might want you to keep your distance...
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.
lol I got similar treatment by those dipshits a few months ago
"stable_diffusion_furry"
My dude, you're in a subculture that basically revolves around human art and creativity. Get out of your ass.
bdzer0's claim to be anarchist yet wholly embracing AI is some cognitive dissonance that I cannot wrap my head around.
And yet Star Trek still had to have a human repeat all what the A.I. was saying to make sure it wasn't shite.
To the never-ending frustration of a succession of automation enthusiasts from Dr Daystrom on down.
The computers in Star Trek didn’t (normally) hallucinate, so they’re definitely not LLMs.
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 all hardware so it becomes unaffordable 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?
