Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Sad to say for folks excited about the upcoming Expanse game, but it's developer (Owlcat) is still heavily Russian based & funded and hasn't don't well to separate itself from RU's genocide at the exec level. Worth avoiding. en.ain.ua/2023/12/07/w...

Folks, meet Mapuna, a white kiwi who lives at Pūkaha wildlife centre. Pūkaha needs urgent funding to stay open and look after manu taogna like him, they've only got about 10% of what they need so far. Help them out if you can: pukaha-donation-appeal.raiselysite.com

Cockatoos have learned to operate drinking fountains in Australia. The behavior—never before seen in birds—may be a developing cultural tradition among one population: scim.ag/4kIi12G

Beyond the horror of the proposition, image if every company was fueled by venture capitalist dipshits who though their product should be part of every facet of your life. "Introducing the latest in biodegradable smart wear: Kleenex® pants!"

On the 81st anniversary of D-Day, here's your annual reminder that - two decades before he became Star Trek's Scotty - James Doohan was one of many Allied troops who risked their lives to invade Normandy. He was also wounded during the conflict.

Heyo, STO Players! I don't do this frequently, but I'd like to transmit a general request for feedback on a specific subject: Adventure Zones and Battlezones. * Nimbus (AZ) * Defera (AZ) * Nukara (AZ) * New Rom (AZ) * Kobali (AZ) * Dyson (BZ) * Badlands (Mirror BZ) * Undine (BZ) * Gon'cra (BZ)

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

That’s it. It’s war.

Fun Fact: Ducks are often seen standing still in the rain. Most think it’s because their waterproof feathers keep them dry and that staying still helps conserve energy, but we have our own theory🦆🌧️🐥 #naturalhabitok #naturalhabitat #naturalhabitatshorts

"Structural integrity is failing, Captain!" This somewhat-faulty model of the Enterprise D is a mere 8.8 µm long & made from plasticised hydrocarbon, so I'll make allowances. #StarTrek

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979): V'Ger, art by Syd Mead “It was a retread of a TV segment that had been done before, [so] it wasn’t totally original. The idea was to create an organic texture as if it had grown over a mechanical frame. I looked at pictures of vines in Angkor Wat, where the..."

Star Trek Online’s Heart of the Matter is out now! I had the pleasure of creating the key art for this new release. 🚀🖖 hope you enjoy it! 💓 #StarTrekOnline

In two hours (2pm PT), I'll be diving into the new update in #StarTrekOnline live on stream! Come hang out and let's experience it together! www.twitch.tv/vengeancegod

Just to get ahead of this rumor >> I've been told that some players are trying to spread FALSE information that we are ending our Console support. This is patently false, and we are even planning an update to Console platforms this week. Don't believe these rumors. Don't spread them. It's a lie.

#StarTrekOnline mini-episode "All That Matter" complete. I really liked it; compact story telling and very effective use of dialog to make the most of a single space map (far more than a patrol). And the arc structure is very intriguing to boot (not jumping immediately to rote Aetherian conflict.)

Welp, I'm a long ways off from the meatier bits of the Endeavor store but it's a neat idea #StarTrekOnline can expand on in future. Plus the update gives some neat new stats to invest in and refresh my interest in the system.

Wanted to share some images of the Ranger remaster. I'm very pleased with how this turned out. The idea was to update the Ranger to be in line with the recent updates we made to the Constitution and Pioneer, but also mixing in more mid-century modern detailing. Model by @ramonmatas.bsky.social

On a more serious note, does any "Biden old" journalist want to comment on the current president accusing Biden of being a cyborg clone?
