Unpopular Opinion: Patrick Stewart made Star Trek worse as his influence over the franchise increased. My feed is full of Picard clips. Almost none are from the era after the TV finale. There is a reason. The TNG movies kind of sucked. I rank all but First Contact below Final Frontier. First Contact ranks one higher only because it has some entertaining moments if you turn your brain completely off. Stewart had a major say in the production of Insurrection. The entire movie seemed to be built around trying to get another infamous Picard lecture on film. It was so heavy handed it felt like he was lecturing the audience as if we voted to move the Ba'ku and he was mad at us for it. It was a boring movie ripoff of a not so good season 7 episode. After Insurrection tanked he gave up his producer role in exchange for a big pay bump to do Nemesis. He did get his dune buggy scene and a chance to do more action stuff though. Nemesis may have been the final nail for Trek movies, but Insurrection built the coffin. Fast forward to Star Trek Picard, where Stewart held almost all the cards. Trek needed him a lot more than he needed Trek. Almost every bad decision made on that show was to comply with Stewart's demands. Season 3 was better received (it still sucked) because Stewart relented on his demands and it had the benefit of being compared to a season where a Borg infected human literally eats car batteries. The Jean Luc Picard that everyone fondly remembers has not existed since May 23, 1994. Good things did indeed end.

if you want to watch tng then yes, do that, but also please skip the fourth episode. just trust me. skip episode four. of season one, yes the fourth episode of the whole show. go directly to episode five instead. believe me this is in your best interest.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Literally not what he said btw. Again, this is how deluded everyone is with this stuff He was very specifically commenting on people talking about local AI models vs cloud based and how some claim local is more efficient when it isn’t Yet that got spun as “no DRAM for you”

Entonces ahora Brasil puede invadir USA militarmente para secuestrar a Bolsonaro como hicieron ellos en Venezuela no?

“PC is better than PS5.” Okayyy, but the real question is: is your PC better than a PS5?
