Emu Edit is awesome. I think we have officially brought this scene from Star Trek to life. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NXX0dKw4SjI&pp=ygUII3Npbm50ZWs%3D http

With the advent of these models my head cannon now insists that when Star Trek characters say they "programmed" something, they really mean that they have a log of all of their iterative prompts and that there's some optimization the computer can use to aggregate all of those into the final resulting warp model/holodeck simulation/transporter filter/biobed pathogen detector/etc without having to reiterate through all of those prompts again...kind of like a NixOS declarative build. And when somebody comes along and fixes their program or reprograms what they did, they simply insert or change some of the prompts along the way and get a different effect. When the characters add new data to the computer (like the episode where Geordi added the psycho profile of the enterprise engine designer), they're just tuning the foundational model with some new input data. Yeah....that feels right for now to me.

  Yes absolutely. I’ve started thinking of some interfaces for this type of “programming”. I think we’ll have some pretty cool stuff to play around with in the not too distant future.

  Tim and Eric are going to go crazy with Gen AI. They won't need Adult Swim to toss them shoestring budgets.

Interestingly enough, it seems existing AI models are already better than the Star Trek computer at dealing with ambiguity. Stable Diffusion would just generate a "normal" table and let you go from there.

  Yes, they seem to handle emotion, humor and ambiguity better than Data or any computer ever on the shows. 24th century technology, today.

      So he says, but LLMs will tell you that too.

        "The Commander is a physical representation of a dream; an idea, conceived of by the mind of a man. Its purpose: to serve human needs and interests. It's a collection of neural nets and heuristic algorithms; its responses dictated by an elaborate software written by a man, its hardware built by a man. And now -- and now a man will shut it off."

LLMs and image models are already better than that scene I can think of solutions for the physical component or simulating the perception of a physical component
