It’s in this article:

Under the terms of the agreement, “AI can’t write or rewrite literary material, and AI-generated material will not be considered source material” under the contract, meaning that AI-generated material can’t be used to undermine a writer’s credit or separated rights.

The summary notes: “A writer can choose to use AI when performing writing services, if the company consents and provided that the writer follows applicable company policies, but the company can’t require the writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing writing services.”

The company also must disclose to the writer if any materials given to the writer have been generated by AI or incorporate AI-generated material, and the WGA says that it “reserves the right to assert that exploitation of writers’ material to train AI is prohibited by MBA or other law.”

Ah, ok. With minimal spoilers:

When Picard came out, it became obvious that the post-Nemesis future depicted in the Litverse books was no longer compatible with canon. The decision was made to write finis to the Litverse, and that resulted in the Coda trilogy, which pretty much marks the end of the Litverse continuity. No future books will be set in that continuity, although some references may be made.

Are you aware that the Litverse as it stood has an end point? Just letting you know in case that factors into your enjoyment.

I want to see them pull this on Star Trek shitposting on FB.

It’s a historical document!

Allowing the rotational periods of the planet to continue and liquid dihydrogen monooxide to immobilize me. Allowing the rotational periods of the planet to continue and liquid dihydrogen monoxide traversing subterranean layers. Into the azure colored atmosphere once more, when the currency has been expended. A single moment in the years that consist of a lifespan and liquid dihydrogen monooxide traversing subterranean layers.

T’Lyn was such a wild woman this week. Admiring Nya’al’s appearance, telling Tendi that what matters is being a loyal friend, saying she was alarmed by D’Erika’s combat abilities and then tossing that report out of the ship with a flimsy justification. Even Mariner said so. OUT OF CONTROL I TELL YOU!

I actually found this one amusing, but that may be because of the better voice work.

That was just plain terrible. The first one was offensive, and this one was lame. The next I expect to be both.

SNW: “Spock Amok” was released on June 2, 2022 while PRO: “Mindwalk” was released on December 15, 2022. I’ll correct it.

Yes, these are generally little notes and comments on references that people may not catch when watching the episode.

As far as I remember they didn’t restore Frannie in VOY: “Spirit Folk” either.

Now I want to know how T’Lyn knows what Borg smell like.

Please moderate your tone. You can disagree, but do so in a civil manner.

Could you elaborate without people having to click on the link?

Isn’t that the Janeway?
