J.J. Abrams' Star Trek


Recommended Posts

As a lifelong Trekkie all I have to say about that new trailer is this:

I need new pants.

Plus, the music was epic win. Sounded like the dark knight almost.

And when Kirk sat in the captain's chair I got freaking goosebumps.

Yeah this film looks the boss!

The parts where they show the building of the Enterprise on the ground bothers me. It should be in space.

I'm not used to seeing it being built on the ground either. I suppose that means the new Enterprise is a bit sturdier than before.

The fact that it was too expensive to have the original Enterprise landing on a planet each week gave us the wonderful transporter, and little slab sided shuttlecraft. :p .

I just saw the new trailer. If I am not mistaken, that was Spock telling Nero "James Kirk was a great man." Oh my. I got goose bumps. This movie is going to rock. Seems Spock will have a face to face confrontation with Nero. Wow.

Why, Utopia Planitia had a Surface Facility quite a few ships were built on the surface including the Enterprise-D, Defiant and Voyager.

It was Nero who said that.

It was Nero who said that.

Look at the trailer again and listen closely to the voice speaking. It was Spock telling Nero that Kirk was a great man then Nero tells Spock: "That was in another life."

This movie is going to be very interesting. Maybe Spock dies on this one. Who knows. I can't wait till May.

I have and did. The voice sounds like Nero and that's what I'm banking on until you can prove otherwise ;)

Why should it? The main bulk could be built on Earth then towed to space. Remember, this needn't be true to the original stories...

Because it would collapse under its own weight.

Where has it ever been said that ships were built on the surface? Mars also has a much lighter gravity, but not enough for it to matter, I guess. The Yards had facilities in both space and on the surface.

Structural Integrity Fields?

Twice in TNG and once in Voyager.

In an alternate timeline visited by Worf in 2370, the Cardassians were using the Argus Array to spy on several of Starfleet's most important ship yards and design complexes, including the Utopia Planitia surface facilities, along with Starbase 47, Deep Space 5 and the Iadara colony. (TNG: "Parallels")

Thats what that picture is from i pasted.

I didn't say there were no surface facilities, I asked when they SPECIFIED that the entire ships were built on the surface. There are orbital facilites also. Every book has always made it very clear that ships are built in space, and the SIF would be useless until the ship was completed anyway.

edit: according to my TNG Technical manual, the assembly started at the Utopia Planitia assembly site, 16,625 kilometres above the surface of Mars with the joining of the Deck 10 computer core elliptical compression bulkhead, and the starboard main longitudinal compression bulkhead.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
