    it might be time for Babylon 5 rewatch.

    My scifi fix hasn’t been satisfied by recent Hollywood attempts, need to go back to basics.

      Have you already watched the animated movie Babylon 5: The Road Home? I liked it a lot.

          You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

          If you do like the Cyberpunk subgenre of scifi, I can also highly recommend the movie Upgrade. It’s an Australian production and the ending hit me like a freight train.

          (Don’t read the plot section!)

                Made a film post about your excellent recommendation: https://hackertalks.com/post/4230075

                Wow that ending.

                Real Colossus: The Forbin Project vibes! I love the gentle AI apocalypse, but i love out the AI is trying to protect itself from competition first!

                Small nit, STEM was in the neck, so being able to see, or hear, or control what the brain can see and hear… wrong place for the routing.

          …it’s a love letter to fans of the original series yet remains practically ignored by the lurker’s guide…

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you’ll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won’t be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There’s a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it’s vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a “controversial” message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a “spammy” message must be applicable to four purple answers before it’s allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it “would be a copyright violation if the info was art” as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar’s Number) or less, it’s considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
