/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Resistance is rule (what is this ruleshid Microsoft?)
Description: Microsoft ad with a man on the right doing a hand sign associated with star trek and wearing a white t-shirt and black glasses with thick borders. On the left the text reads white on black " Resistance is futile - get AI-ready with Azure" Blue button says "learn more".

Just not sure if trolling or being called a nerd by a clueless marketing department.
I've got faith
in their marketing.
They could have said "Today is a good day to AI"
Actually, I think that would have been better.
Everybody is complaining in a way that implies it's a real ad.
Is it?
Not sure, but I found this:
How many fandoms can they possibly try to offend?
A scifi nerd founded a company called Cyberdyne and released a product called HAL. It's a exoskeleton made for physical rehabilitation.
Today on "Tech company uses horrible vision of the future from science fiction as marketing for their own horrible vision of the future":
Sorry, best I can give you is the Torture Buffer (which I would like to propose the alternate name, the Suffer Buffer)
Vogons agree!
Oh freddled gruntbuggly, thy micturations are to me
Like furgled grableblotchets on a lurgid bee.
I remember back in the 90s during the Macintosh-Windows flamewars people would frequently make early image edits of Bill Gates as a Borg. Now they're doing it unironically.
Gods, I can't wait for AI to die down to its eventual form of better auto-complete.
Le sigh.
Team Microsoft, reliably unreliable.
I want AI that can potentially destroy the world, but in a fun, Hollywood way. Not like this... Not like this...
Well Double Dumb-ass on you!
Is this a legitimate ad? WTF?
