TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenFoward: 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. 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 mean 2 of the smartest people on the Enterprise D accidentally created an artificial lifeform and had no safeguards to prevent it from happening.
I guess 'accidental, megalomaniacal sapience' is technically a holodeck malfunction, lol. I wasn't even thinking of that incident.
Really just one person- Geordie- through an accidental misphrasing of a request to the computer.
I would have never used that computer again. Or at least given it a complete overhaul. You shouldn't be allowed to do the sort of thing you'd request of Dall-E in order for the computer to create intelligent life.
Yeah, they could stand to at least add a, "This request will result in the creation a sentient being, are you sure you wish to proceed?" warning.
Really, a lot of Star Trek problems could be averted with a "are you sure you want to do this?" before someone does something with the computer or the holodeck. Starfleet apparently never learns. That's why in Prodigy-

Janeway goes back to the Delta Quadrent in a different ship of a different but similar-looking class renamed Voyager.
Frankly I would posit that present-day LLMs demonstrate exactly why Moriarty wasn't even necessarily sapient.
