They may receive 5x the criticism and be 5x less effective at moving products, but if they turn out to be 10x cheaper to produce then that is still a huge net positive revenue-wise and allows them to make a lot more (and more targeted) ads
Note: I totally made those numbers up
uhhh ok? Any particular reason...?
The idea of Data's whole life being the result of a prompt from Soong is hilarious
That's a good point- if they were truly making a superintelligence, it wouldn't be for sale, just like Coca-cola wouldn't sell their recipe. They're selling the shovels while insisting to corporate executives there's a gold rush going on.
Exactly, they got Paul Giamatti for Spock's sake. When an actor is at their level they can be choosy about the roles they take on.
I’m fairly OK with NuTrek trusting the audience less and driving a point home harder
I'm generally against this, but it's also not like Star Trek ever gave us a reasonable expectation of subtlety.... 
Now I call that convenience
🙌Hail all knowing Claude🙌
Ah yeah I'm with you. I actually think LLMs are a useful tool for that initial push- a search query, rough draft (or demo). But I'm not convinced they could ever move beyond that, since creating rigid, reliable structure isn't what they're designed to do.
