@grok remove the nacelles

I can see someone else behaving like a 20 year old in need of therapy

The word "professionalism" here a common dogwhistle for "obedience" and "conformity". It's use in this context is almost exclusively directed towards women, but also sometimes to black men.

When Micheal Burhnam disobeys orders it's "unprofessional", when Worf or Picard does it, it's "bold". When Ake sits down unconventionally it's "unprofessional", when Riker does it, it's a quirky and beloved part of his character. etc. etc.

I guarantee that guy never once made an internet post about how Riker sits

lmao why do you care about "bad looks"? are you doing PR for chancellor ake? who the hell cares. I cannot express how weird it is to me that you care about that. Honestly I'm completely baffled as to why you care about how a fictional character who wouldn't care about your option if she was real, but can't care about your opinion because she's not, presents herself.

I have to assume the people who think Star Trek is woke now also believe drag queens in the 90s represented good christian values

The opening theme was just weird! But I said the same thing about DS9 and Enterprise.

Now I love the DS9 theme. So maybe Academy's will grow on me, too.

I had a funny feeling they were going to play this song, and I smiled when this cover started playing. I didn't realize it was Rufus Wainwright! Good stuff.

Sure, but Wikipedia does not care about "truth". "It's true" is not a valid citation on Wikipedia (and "knowledge" is not the same as "truth"). Wikipedia is built on references from experts from people that can be honest while still being factually incorrect.

It's an important distinction because an LLM can be correct but it can never be honest. The hypothetical Enterprise-D computer appears to be able to be honest, even when incorrect.

I thought I was in !startrek@startrek.website for a moment...

My take is that even if you consider LLMs to fall under the umbrella of "AI" (I don't), they appear to be a completely different technology than the Enterprise-D computer, which is more like highly advanced natural language processing.

would you want a perfect AI that was incapable of lying or harbouring anything untrue?

It's not really possible for an AI to know what's true with 100% accuracy, but I do think it's technically possible to invent an AI that is honest. It's important to remember that LLMs are actually "hallucinating" 100% of the time. The only reason they are ever correct is because the training data was correct.
