/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
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?
