Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Why am I reminded of the Self Aware Megalomaniacal Computer Storage facility from Star Trek: Lower Decks?

Indeed!
Also I found it a little sad that Star Trek has so many megalomaniac AIs, including Landru, Nomad and V’Ger, and the best the maker could come up with was 1 AI … from Discovery.

And of the AI's in Discovery they picked the generic megalomaniac rather than the ship that likes watching Audrey Hepburn films.

Also they added Data but no Lore.

And no Isaac from the Orwell, who IMO was one of the best written AIs out there, managing to be somehow both warm and cold.

Isaac is great, you’re absolutely right!
