/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I always used to laugh at the way they give instructions to the computer so conversationally, especially building holodeck programs. Like, "how did the computer know to create all these details and characters without being specifically instructed? Who programmed these pre-set commands so that the computer would understand?"
Now, it's suddenly very realistic.
Which means the show was 40 years ahead of its time on that one. Incredible.
Yeah, especially when the hokodeck goes all haywire and murdery afterwards
Geordi: “Computer, make a holodeck program that would challenge Commander Data.”
Computer: “Make a Sherlock Holmes novel and give Moriarty a comprehension of what exists outside of the holodeck as well as administrative access to the ship’s computer? Okay!”
Holodeck settings and scenarios are open source, and it's a big galaxy to pull from.
But they aren't perfect, as the Bynars showed. Without extra processing, a very detailed Minuet turns into just another holodeck character.
(Sad Riker trombone sounds)
Plus it has to do with what is being suggested. When they were trying to recreate the table from the crew being addicted you could tell the holodeck was creating the basics based off their suggestions. If they pull from a book, like Dixon Hill or Sherlock, unless the program was defined in detail beforehand, the holodeck would likely pull from endless historical accounts, photos, etc to fill in the gaps.
And like any learning model, the more a person uses the holodeck the larger their user profile becomes with preferences and such.
Yes, and the ones where they had to make adjustments to what was given made it seem even more realistic. Take the example with Riker. It probably used his past simulations to pull up a typical jazz bar. Then he changes some of the parameters, then a few more. The Bynars monitoring him saw an opportunity and gave him Minuet for his sole audience member.
Still have a huge problem with no locking access. A few minutes later for Picard, who knows what he would have walked into.
Oy, the spelling made my brain hurt.
They're putting AI in everything!
I watched this episode just last night!
Which one is it?
I think it's "Future Imperfect" from season 4.
Thank you, kind lemmy user!
That's the one! Complete with bearded Picard.
yes
Something about Romulans?
