- Borg slogan used positively

- Human

- Vulcan ~~symbol~~ gesture

Just not sure if trolling or being called a nerd by a clueless marketing department.

I've got faith

in their marketing.

They could have said "Today is a good day to AI"

Actually, I think that would have been better.

Everybody is complaining in a way that implies it's a real ad.

Is it?

Not sure, but I found this:

How many fandoms can they possibly try to offend?

A scifi nerd founded a company called Cyberdyne and released a product called HAL. It's a exoskeleton made for physical rehabilitation.

Exoskeletons you say?

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
