/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Ear me out: Made by apple with google ads hosted on amazon servers
Can't I just be blind instead?
$29.99/month (frstyearthen$59.99). Conditions apply.
I’d take that any day over made by google with amazon ads hosted on apple servers
Well Google sometimes does a good job coding, letting Amazon do the ads and host them on an Apple server sounds like a great way for them to not work.
Hand to God thought this was an early makeup test for the Borg.
It makes sense if you think about it. An artificial eye could be mounted anywhere in theory. But your brain expects images to be captured from that point of view and it’s going to be the best spot to place the camera to make the feed comaptible.
It also makes sense that this kind of tech would begin with a single video feed. They’ll figure out stereoscopic vision later. So, just the one eye…
The look makes perfect sense…. And just happens to resemble a borg getup!
I've played around with moving perspectives. Your brain adapts remarkably quickly to it, in general. It trips up at some bits for a lot longer however.
A few years back, I built a rig to view yourself in the 3rd person (view from above and behind your head). It was good fun. I could adapt to the change in about 5-10 seconds, once I was used to it. Forward collision detection was completely screwed. My brain would default to "normal" without conscious overriding.
It is very beneficial that the camera points in the direction your head is facing, though. And the easiest way to achieve that is to just mount it on the head.
Fully agreed. It's worth noting that mounting it to the side would likely also work fine. Particularly if the person is already blind. That way it doesn't disrupt the view of facial expressions.
Mounting it further out to the side would add bulk, though. Also, that looks pretty heavy, so moving it out would mean the user would have to strain more to keep their head plumb. Mounting it on the forehead is an option, but then it would need a lot of rework to add a second eye, and there's no path towards being able to wear a hat or helmet.
I agree there is probably adaptability here. If I were at the cutting edge of innovating on this, though, I would want to eliminate that variable if I could. Plus, in the long run, the camera will still need to be at eye level, because the world is designed for ordinary people whose eyes are there. Even if you could adjust to having your eyes on your belt buckle, you still wouldn’t be able to walk up to a workstation, sit down, and get your job done.

Looked like the hologram doctor from Voyager.
What's god gonna do with that hand
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.
I 100% unironically want a Ghost in the Shell type robot body.
Also: "I'm thinking of getting metal legs. It's a risky operation but I think it'd be worth it."
Hell yeah. Fuck AI, I don’t want to be replaced by a robot, I want to replace the robots with me. Transhumanism or bust.
I have not thought of that stupid fucking movie in years. I know what I’m watching tonight.
That's a 40k reference
I am aware. I don't want a 40k robot body tho. I'd just be turned into some kind of tank and forced to murder orks and heretics.

OK, so I read the 40K wiki on Noctis expecting something that would make a techpriest abandon their tech. Did I miss anything? The whole "dragon" thing seems to be rather thinly fleshed out
thinly fleshed
