It’d be a bit unreliable, though. Not everyone has the same reaction to the same thing, nor do they express it in a similar way.
Someone might think a snake or a spider is cute, whereas another would want to incinerate it on the spot. A third might be concerned because they seem to be injured, etc.
Not to mention that image recognition/emotional analysis has been an ongoing field of research for some time. Making the link is not overly difficult.

Also great to squeak a little battery in if your phone was flat and you needed to make a call.
It wasn’t that long ago that “smart mirrors” were en vogue, which was just a display with a reflective coating.
Although I think that they generally fell out of fashion because people don’t want a contraption for their mirror that they have to plug in and set up.
I actually prefer TNG’s settling down with a Poker game, and Picard joining in with a “I didn’t know why I didn’t do this before”. Mainly because it still feels like they’ve not left their time, whereas the camping scene could be anytime from the start of the second millennium.
The only way it could be better is if the show opened with a Poker game.
And it doesn’t preclude the company just deciding your product is no longer worth supporting/going bankrupt.
It might have been fine and seemingly trustworthy to begin with, and then it stops, a few years down the line.
That is a different kind of machine learning model, though.
You can’t just plug in your pathology images into their multimodal generative models, and expect it to pop out something usable.
And those image recognition models aren’t something OpenAI is currently working on, iirc.
name recognition
Though that is debatable, given how hard that they’ve been trying to shed it for the “X” name for ages.

Or even a market that let you just buy individual wallpapers as you want them, like how you used to be able to buy individual tracks in itunes instead of a whole album.
A subscription model is a bit silly.
If they’re presenting it as an authoritative source of information, then they should be held to the standard they claim.
Bit of A, bit of B?
Wouldn’t it still need overhead to chose those blocks and send them instead of the video? Especially if they’re also trying to do it in a way that prevents the user from just hitting the “skip 10 seconds” button like they might if it was served as part of the regular video.
I like how the company didn’t consider using standard software to do it, and then switch to the in-house system that they made later, instead of just having it done by hand instead.
At least in theory you could still do NLP from online sources, but the sheer amount of work necessary to ensure that you got the bots out makes it unfeasible.
Not just that, but the increasing number of sites blocking or having countermeasures against the tools they use also increases the amount of work/makes it harder.
Several years ago, it would have been easy and cheap to noodle up a quick Twitter or Reddit bot to churn through posts and spit out the posts on the other side. These days, you need to pay for that, and in some cases, pay quite a lot.
X (formerly known as Twitter), for example, wants to charge $100/month, and Reddit wants $0.24 per 100 API calls.
You can scrape, of course, but that risks getting you banned, if you’re not going to run into barriers. The website formerly known as Twitter no longer allows you to see parent tweets, nor replies if you’re not logged in, for example.
Its strange to think that the game is nearly a decade old.
It doesn’t feel that long ago when you’d see a bunch of people playing with it and marvelling at the realism/newly added voice recognition features.
In Voyager, he’s shown to have pips. In fact, switching him over to Command mode shows a deliberate animation of pips showing up on hid collar.
However, it is possible that this is something that only applied on the Voyager thanks to their excsptional circumstances, and regular Starfleet doesn’t recognise it as a “proper” rank.
- Can a self-aware hologram hold rank or a non-com position in Starfleet?
Technically, yes, in practice, it would be a bit more complicated. A lot of the Federation still has issues around recognising the personhood of inorganics, and a good many of them would hold the early Voyager attitude of seeing him as a regular hologram/tool that the Voyager got too attached to, like the Enterprise did with their Data.
- If so, how would the Doctor attaib it?
The regular way, in theory. The ranking system technically doesn’t change depending on what species you are, other than some minor twiddling to account for your species’ characteristics.
It would be silly to expect a species who can’t speak to give verbal commands, for example, or give them a crew who is not receptive to telepathy.
In practice, there’s a lot more complications, like how the crew of the Sutherland nearly mutinied against Data because they believed him to be a dispassionate computer weighing lives at data points.
The Dr originally wasn’t autonomous, it could be argued he’s just part of the ship, but the holo emitter changed that.
There’s an argument to be made that that changed the moment he started to be established as a sapient individual of his own.
I’m amazed the Daystrom institute let him keep it, but since it’s apparently his, and that makes him autonomous, I would argue he’s just like Data (minus the permanent corporeality of course).
It bring future Federation technology bequeathed to him may help there too. The Federation likely doesn’t want to risk issues with the Time Police by confiscating and studying the emitter, so just let him keep it to do with as he wants.
There’s also an ethical argument that removing it would severely restrict his ability to move, given that Starfleet would have trouble furnishing him with a sufficient replacement.
I suppose there’s a question about ownership given his origins as a Starfleet asset, but since he can be replaced with a copy of the original program, there’s no real material loss in letting him leave the ship.
We also know from Prodigy that the Voyager was intended to be shelved for study, so it no longer being active might also be a good reason to allow the Doctor to roam about, instead of effectively trapping him on the inactive ship while Starfleet scientists pulled it apart and studied every crook and nanny.
Both. Though regular holograms would immediately dissipate on arrival, since they’re separated from the projectors maintaining the holomatter.
There have been many cases which The Doctor has become solid so other solid objects can no longer pass through them. If the object we are seeing being beamed is the mobile emitter, then is it necessary for them to be on a separate pad? I imagine the person accompanying The Doctor could just hold the emitter instead.
The Doctor needs to externally reconfigure himself through the computer control panel to change his tangibility, he can’t just do it on the fly.
Transporting him as if he was a human, rather than just the emitter probably helps Voyager’s crew remember that, instead of treating him as a piece of equipment.
It’s also unclear whether transporting just the emitter instead of the whole hologram might risk damaging his holomatrix, since you’d effectively be forcibly removing the emitter. He wasn’t designed around having a mobile emitter, or with the ability to be transported.
If you can somehow lick a gas, more power to you.
