totally not a cult

Lol, they think the computers in star trek were just LLMs

Communities, not instances. Startrek.website is one instance, lemmy.today is another. An instance hosts communities. Also, no point censoring the names since the modlog is public.

It happens when you post here, you don't even have to interact with their community. Instead they come here, by their own volition, to be angry about us not liking AI and they then decide to ban every name they come across. This community existing is insult enough for them. Thankfully they self-isolate for the most part.

You claim to hate AI in real life but like AI in SciFi. Curious.

lol I got similar treatment by those dipshits a few months ago

This isn't about AI - that's just an excuse.

What they really didn't want was a Tribble infestation, and well, given your username...you can see why they might want you to keep your distance...

Yeah, where is my ship computer anyway? The duotronic circuits, Holodeck Moriarty, an LCARS panel in the hallway and a pad in my readyroom? Why do I have to constantly refill the coffee beans, empty the collection container, do the descale program and the machine doesn't just provide me with "coffee, black" whenever I like? Feels like it's handing out even more quests to me than any Voyager storywriter could imagine. I'm also waiting for ages on tablets which can just flick over the app and data to my colleagues like in Stargate SG1.

Edit: Also dunno, I can't remember how in Star Trek, all the AI is done by big, nasty corporations. Gobbles up half the hardware so it becomes unaffordable to people and they build a big, dirty gas powered datacenter next to Picard's family's wineyard. And then Voyager's ship computer ceases to work the moment they drop out of wifi range?! Did I miss those episodes?

Oh no, AI slop will be removed from your feed? However will you survive‽

These people understand Star Trek is fictional, often takes place on quasi-military vessels, and depicts a society that has some significant differences from our own, right?

And yet Star Trek still had to have a human being repeat all what the A.I. was saying to make sure that it wasn't shite.

You don’t need to redact your rap sheet, it’s public.

LCARS was a data access and retrieval system capable of doing calculations and simulations. It was not, I REPEAT, was not "artificial intelligence". It did not try to act or sound sentient, it simply responded to commands and ran programs.

The computers in Star Trek didn’t (normally) hallucinate, so they’re definitely not LLMs.

Most people aren’t anti ai, but rather anti llm.

Obviously I’m not enough of an AI hater cause I ain’t been banned from shit.

The computers in Star Trek are fictional. They work because the plot needs them too. They do not resemble a large language program because they don't resemble anything. You might as well say CSI: Miami's enhance image computer is AI.

The mod who typed that up might as well just declare from the rooftops, "I fell for a Silicon Valley marketing trick of describing software with a sci-fi tropes."

Badge of fucking honor.

Isn't "post-scarcity society" a big part of star trek too? Weird to claim you are a star trek fan while defending "scarcity generator 3000."

Congrats! Every ban from ai bullshit is a badge of honor.

I don't remember “the computers” being AI. Holograms and androids? Sure. But for the computers be that level of AI would throw Trek into dystopia.

My AI is better than yours, it’s doing pottery

You must be doing something right lmao

Being banned from these cesspools should be a badge of honor.

Everytime they try AI systems in trek it starts blowing up starships.

You're in welcome company.
