The computers in Star Trek are fictional. They work because the plot needs them too. They do not resemble a large language program because they don't resemble anything. You might as well say CSI: Miami's enhance image computer is AI.

Refusing to abandon his yachts or the medical career that paid for them, [...] Fischer was arrested after US Marshals boarded his 56-foot vessel, The Silver Lining, as it sailed down New York’s East River.
Alive for neither; one of those is taught in US history classes, the other is not. The miniseries gave it a resurgence for sure, but even before that "Chernobyl" has been a proper noun on the list of key words to associate with the Cold War.
Falling down and landing head head first is lethal at any age. Ladders don't even have to be a part of it, normal standing height can sometimes be enough. It happens more to older adults because they don't have the speed or mobility to break their own fall, but it can kill a youngster too if they're not careful.
I'm making a cause and effect argument here. If Democrats don't feel pressure, if they feel like all they need to stay in power is wait for Republicans to fuck up enough that the pendulum tips the other way and they win by default, then they don't really need to deliver anything to voters.
And historically, they haven't. It's how we got Trump. And Bush before him. And Regan. Nixon. This is a long story in US politics, and I don't really expect the script to change in the foreseeable future. So yeah I'm gonna complain about the constant right-ward shift. If that makes me sound like a Republican to you, then whatever. So be it.
[Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, by Hunter S Thompson] That's the real issue this time," he said. "Beating Nixon. It's hard to even guess how much damage those bastards will do if they get in for another four years."
The argument was familiar, I had even made it myself, here and there, but I was beginning to sense something very depressing about it. How many more of these goddamn elections are we going to have to write off as lame, but "regrettably necessary" holding actions? And how many more of these stinking double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote for something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?
Now with another one of these big bogus showdowns looming down on us, I can already pick up the stench of another bummer. I understand, along with a lot of other people, that the big thing this year is Beating Nixon. But that was also the big thing, as I recall, twelve years ago in 1960 – and as far as I can tell, we've gone from bad to worse to rotten since then, and the outlook is for more of the same.
The DNC doesn't sign my paycheck, I don't work for them. Expecting the general electorate to talk and post about politics like they're DNC employees following a style guide is frankly crazy. They're supposed to try and represent us, not the other way around.
Voicing criticisms after the candidates have been chosen, but before the general election? Absolutely moronic, the last thing you want to do. It accomplishes nothing except increase the possibility that the worst candidate wins. Totally garbage, toddler-brain decision.
What if the criticism is "you're running a bad campaign and going to lose the election because of it"? I really don't think going easy on our representatives is helping them. A healthy party should be capable of digesting criticism at any point in time, not just in pristine conditions.
Between AIDS and Covid, I don't really think the United States has any social capacity to deal with plagues.

Suppose someone in that era became def and blind as an infant/toddler. Do you suppose they'd ever be able to learn to communicate?
I'd love to hear someone who thinks Helen Keller wasn't real describe what they think the late 1800s was like.
