I like to think that the ghost in the machine emerged after the glitch. Maybe a small spark caused by the glitch. Coincidentally Voyager was flying through a Interplanetary dust cloud , loaden with cosmic partcles, one particle was touched by the spark and voila: a new lifeform is created.

Flying forever alone in space.

Encountering a correct use and great execution of POV always makes my day.

Misaligned AI systems can malfunction and cause harm. AI systems may find loopholes that allow them to accomplish their proxy goals efficiently but in unintended, sometimes harmful, ways (reward hacking).

They may also develop unwanted instrumental strategies, such as seeking power or survival because such strategies help them achieve their final given goals. Furthermore, they may develop undesirable emergent goals that may be hard to detect before the system is deployed and encounters new situations and data distributions.

Today, these problems affect existing commercial systems such as language models, robots, autonomous vehicles, and social media recommendation engines.

The last paragraph drives home the urgency of maybe devoting more than just 20% of their capacity for solving this.

They all better beware, he’s a cylon frakkin’ toaster

The abominable Dr. Phibes also loves his makeup.

From now on I’ll always see Kim, when i encounter the original in some meme

It’s so good

The back window is also painted, i just saw that after reading your comment, there’s no way this van is driving around.

Yeah - that was jarring to see.

I saw that documentary where Shatner visits the other Captains. Loved it and his encounter with Chris Pine ( i kept writing Pike lol ) was just wholesome. I’ve thought a lot about sudden fame and how people deal with it - it must be difficult to see the thing you’re in get popular, coupled with another person getting the spotlight in that popularity. Nowadays the whole cast is popular, but i assume it wasn’t always like this or at least the actors didn’t get the kind of feedback, that’s possible with internet and social media.

I was heartbroken, when Shatner came back from his short amazon(g) space trip - for the way he was dismissed by Bezos when landing and for his experience. Some Astronaut might have said this kind of thing before, but it was my first time hearing someone that was in space, say other things than it was a miracle, wonderful, in awe, 100% would do again, etc.

The way he was shocked about the bleakness, darkness and the void that is around us. I think we cannot imagine how it feels to see Earth from ‘another’ place - i now imagine the Earth like a submarine in the deepest depth of the ocean, but with less protection. We only have an atmosphere, keeping the surrounding void from destroying us in a whim.

I’m in the process of a TOS rewatch right now, on S3. I feel like I’m slowing down because I don’t want to reach the end again.

LOL - i’ve been dong this consciously as of late. Like, going 3 episodes back, before watching the last episode. Just not letting it end. I’ve only caught myself doing this with Star trek series though.

I’m now doing this with Picard season 3. Watching it the first time and i just don’t want it to end. I avoided spoilers, so them all coming back caught me pretty off guard.

It’ll just look perfectly like a LEGO build, then ask someone to disassemble it.

So glad to be witnessing some Shatner love. I also just re-watched TOS and TAS. They get better with every rewatch.

Only TOS season three… Every time I get mad, idk, some episodes have such a heavy 70’s community love vibe. I actually love the style of the 70s, just not the hippie sing along stuff, that always somehow creeped me out. I’m so happy i was born in 1971, so i got to the 80s when i was 9 years old. Perfect timing, considering how delicious the 80s were for coming of age.

I made the mistake ( or not ) of watching all of Madame Columbo in between Star Treks, what an awkward ride for Janeway.

It’s already 12 bucks per Barkley, that was quick!

Edit: there’s another offer scrolling down for 9 bucks.

He looks like my dad, doing exactly this when he farts and my mom just goes away.

This made me think of the Haiku Bot - the first ( and probably only ) thing from Reddit, that I’d like to see around here.

Ikr? It’s a daily joy to get one awesome post after the other. There were days, where i thought “ok, this is the peak, it can’t get better than this” only to be proven wrong the next day. Again and again.

I tried describing your meme to Midjourney.

Or they could be Gorn-Snacks.
