As a rule, files never get deleted… They get over written. So it depends on whether that process has happened to any loose images.

It’s great that the two characters discuss this topic, I think it’s in the multi-part TNG episode where Ambassador Spock is creating a dissident movement on Romulus.

Yeah, but Data is actually intelligent and brilliant. ChatGPT is often just giving best averaged answers based on what’s most likely - and still hallucinates even in the latest version.

I haven’t used it, but it happens even in the demo they showed.

Technically he’s a Spock stand in: hyper logical but not quite getting humanity.

This characteristic… In fact lots of characteristics get shared and mix and matched across DS9, TNG, and Voyager.

In Voyager Seven of Nine and The Doctor are the “not quite understanding humanity” characters. In DS9, it’s Odo.

Ideally newer Trek would do this too, but it might also want to have:

A quirky or modded engineer: LaForge, O’Brien, Scotty, Be’lana.

A superior strength character: Spock, Data, Odo, Worf, Seven of Nine, Tuvok.

…and maybe a couple of psychic characters, Spock, Kes, Tuvok, Seven of Nine, Benjamin.

You’ll probably also need some mentally brilliant characters, a Klingon, and someone who doesn’t fit in due to a negative background and is jaded about it.

…a brilliant doctor helps too.

These characteristics are needed so you can write certain storyline types and stand alone episodes.

Unfortunately the technology will also be used for creating new weapons of war.

I predict a world where it’s too hot for most to work, air-conditioning becoming mandatory everywhere, a slowing of development in terms of properties being built. The search for automation as a response. Cooling suits being widely used. The majority of the world’s crops failing. Food stipends being delivered on specialised trucks to each home… Perhaps by a division of the military… People dying on mass in the third world and quietly in their rooms in the first. Rolling black outs become waves of death. Experts dying on the job trying to fix them. Skinny bodies fighting for life, or fighting each other for food. Death squads who think killing is the answer. A daily announcement of what percentage of the country is on fire… But we’ll probably mostly be dying of thirst by then. Maybe it won’t be so bad.

Confused gay fascist who is more than likely a white nationalist, Peter Thiel.

For starters, Liberals are less violent, desire stability and an uplifting progression in social values, and tend to be fairly comfortable in themselves.

Other than that - when Liberals go far enough left, they become Socialists, and start to hate Liberals for their Capitalist elements and “economic liberalism”/neoliberalism.

When conservatives go far right, they turn into fascist conservatives… Conservatives, just more staunch, violent, and unreasonable.

It’s because the male ones believe their courses have informed them, and turned them into “knowledge experts” who know better than you. Where as female case managers believe their courses have made them better at connecting people to their resources and practices.

In short, whether conscious or not, the courses they do have different gendered outlooks and effects of participants.

One group becomes entitled ro superiority, and the others becomes a more connected listener.

But it might also be because men lack the lived experience most compatible with your own, and it’s possible they’re better at providing for male clients.

…but really I think women are just likely better at the job, and more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others in a more consistent and accurate manner.

It’s more likely remote controlled. There’s probably a guy with a controller near by. They’ve been around for a couple of decades now, but are generally only used where an angle is too steep or too close to a highway or cliff face.

They already donate to both sides in order to insure their influence. So Ostracism of one or two politicians isn’t really going to be an effective preventative measure.

It’s actually quite difficult to cause hyper-flation in either direction. You generally need an external destination for the money that’s outside the economy being targeted. Japan had a deflationary economy for 30 years, which was produced by falling population numbers and negative interest rates. Their quality of life didn’t drastically decline, just the international purchasing power of the yen (and even that wasn’t too bad).

You’d probably format it as a percentage of GDP per capita, as it’s about limiting wealth disparity (and thus protecting social mobility), distributing wealth growth nationally, and limiting the concentration of financial interest as it’s a threat to national and democratic security.

You’d probably want it accompanies by various studies that show that that large wealth disparities are detrimental to social mobility (aka the ability to “work your way up” in classes), and probably some political science papers on the ills of concentrations of wealth.

You’d probably want it to come into force along with laws that limit campaign contributions and big money donors in politics… get rid of that whole “political donations are protected as political speech” crap… and you’d probably want it as a wealth tax that pays into a sovereign wealth fund with rules on what it can be used for.
