Hopefully that's how it sounds. :P
However most of those involve an unforseeable external intervention of Weird Nebula Radiation, or Nanobot Swarm, Virus Infection, or Because Q Said So, etc.
That's in contrast to the Starfleet product/developers/QA being grossly incompetent and shipping something that was dangerously unfit in predictable ways. (The pranks of maintenance personnel on Cygnet XIV are debatable.)
- TeMPOraL 2y agoFWIW, holodeck programming is basically an LLM hooked up to a game engine. "Paris, France, a restaurant, circa 1930" - and the computer expands that for you into ridiculously detailed scene, not unlike DALL-E 3 turns a few words into a paragraph-long prompt before getting to work.
- buildsjets 2y agoUsing that prompt in DALL-E did result in a quaint period-esque scene. I'm not sure why it added a businessman in a completely sleeveless suitjacket, but he does have impressive biceps on all three of his arms.
- Terr_ 2y ago> holodeck programming is basically an LLM hooked up to a game engine Ehhhh.... kinda? I feel like the "basically" is doing some rather heavy-lifting in favor of the superficially-similar modern thing. Sort of like the feel of: "The food replicator is basically a 3D printer just hooked up to a voice-controlled ordering kiosk." Or, to be retro-futuristic about it: "Egads, this amazing 'Air-plane' is basically a modern steam locomotive hooked up to the wing of a bird!" Sure, the form is similar, but the substance could be something with a different developmental path.
