[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 121 points 11 months ago (1 child) This is the lesser shown part of the holodeck program. We know they experience this because Moriarty learned to summon the arch. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 62 points 11 months ago (2 children) It's been a while since I saw the ep, but wasn't Moriarty stuck on because the computer was asked to create an opponent that could beat Data and it got caught in a weird loop? I'm pretty sure Moriarty was a major exception in some way, none of the other constructs are self aware and all get turned off with the program permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] imsufferableninja@sh.itjust.works 17 points 11 months ago (2 children) That one lounge singer in DS9 stayed on too permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (1 child) Did he actually stay on like Moriarty? IIRC, Moriarty became self-aware/sentient and the crew was ethically bound to keep him running. With Vic Fontaine, I think it was more a case of “saving the game” so he could continue friendships when he was activated again. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 child) Yes, Vic Fontaine was a regular occurrence. He was not your typical program either, but because of that they let his program run all the time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dhs92@piefed.social 7 points 11 months ago Not all the time.

He grows and learns and expands his AI programming. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 child) Huh......I had no idea this comic was a reference to a tv show. I just thought everyone else ALSO wanted to leave, because, well.....have you SEEN reality lately? I am not a fan. I can fully relate with wanting to log out of this timeline. How much worse can another reality possibly be? I feel like rolling the dice on a different timeline doesn't have much risk. Worst case scenario you an equally bad reality.
