Is Threshold worse than Code of Honor?

I’d say it’s worst. Being racist is horrible, but it wasn’t until “Threshold” that ST became actively and willingly stupid.

If not the most imaginative, certainly the most inspiring, and it evokes a strong insertion in our reality.

It is when the people tends to give more credence to entities that appear sentient and to have agency.

I even spell out okay.

Which is funny, because it originated as an initialism for “Oll Korrekt”.

I loved it but now I’ve mostly replaced it with AIMP.

Many worthy things are difficult.

Steven Spielberg specifically said that he would continue Kubrick vision for the movie. And the Pinocchio discussion Brian Aldiss had was with Kubrick, not with Spielberg.

So be careful not to cut yourself with that edge. You don’t seem to be handling it well.

The Kubricking extends beyond The Shining. A. I. is a horrible travesty of the original short story. The author begged him not to do that idiotic retelling of Pinocchio, but Kubrick didn’t listen.

This isn’t some secret but literally how LLMs work. lol

Yeah, but John Q. Public reads AI and thinks HAL 9000 and Skynet, and no additional will convince them otherwise.

We anthropomorphize machines all the time, it’s fine.

It’s fucking not, amd I’m not changing my mind about it.

It’s a really bad term because it’s usually associated with a mind, and LLMs are nothing of the sort.

I think obvious that she would have sided with Maddox and disagreed with the ruling. I don’t think her capable of overcoming her prejudices against artificial life forms.

This in particular is from Jack Chick, who also belonged to a group convinced that the KJV is the result of a new revelation.

These comics are known as Chick Tracts.

Specially when it’s hijacked to run other things instead (cough cough snaps).

I use that sound for notifications to this dy.

Alls I can say is you’re listening to the wrong kind of music is you think all current music is vapid.

And all I can say is that your reading comprehension is lacking if you attribute me saying that all music is valid. I said “mostly”.

It’s honestly quite arrogant to think great artists stopped at our generation my guy.

And I had said so, I would agree. I, however, didn’t.

In any case, if music is your main focus, you could have used more prominence in the question, because your formulation seemed to indicate that there were other things you wanted to “keep up with” too. If I had understood that music was your primary focus, I would have abstained from participating. Which I will start doing right now.

Do you not believe that music, particularly the lyrics, is a snapshot in time of what the artists ideas and beliefs are?

It once was. Now music is mostly the result of an industry churning sellable platitudes and blandness.

As I believe music is the most emotive form of expression.

When you have sensible artists who talk about things beyond their own petty and minimal experience, perhaps. This is less and less frequent.

In any case, for me music is a very personal pleasure, I don’t compare notes frequently regarding what one “needs to like to be up to date”. I like what I like, and it’s not very transferrable. I rejoice when I find matches, but I don’t want to “learn what I must like” to be “modern” because that “gives me the pulse of the zeitgeist”.

Because they want to keep in touch with and still feel like a part of their community?

By keeping up with music? Come on!

There is huge divide between generations from the elders and it’s usually due to ignorance or superiority and it achieves nothing.

Preferred music doesn’t do much about it. Your focus in it was the main thing that confused me.

If you had mentioned having discussions about ideas I would understood better.

I honestly think your view is weird. Why wouldn’t you want to understand your fellow humans more.

Again, you mentioned music, which for “understanding my fellow humans” is fundamentally irrelevant to me. Discussions about philosophy, ethics, or politics are much more relevant.

Or maybe you just want to understand why they like the music they like and nothing beyond that, which is valid, but painting it as “understanding fellow humans” is a little too grandiose.
