![]() That person pushed Casey off the building hoping to have killed her. ![]() So, people really had a reason not too like her and with all the things Casey had done it really made someone go to 100 quick. There could also be a chance that she had small situations with other girl’s boyfriends. Not too many people liked her because of her power, how she treated people, and how good she was with dance. Let us start with the first person by the name Casey Shore. You have authorities that are not actually the best and can be very sneaky. At times with females and males being around each other and it being majority females there, it can get a little chaotic…Even resulting in death. In the Ballet Arts School, students express their selves through dance. And I think it’s something that I appreciate more as an adult myself, with actual real world experience of the importance of connections and experience and time, especially in sort of insular or smaller work communities. It’s not just about being young or generally inexperienced, in other words-it’s about NOT knowing every Captain, Admiral, and Commodore in the service, it’s about NOT having friends across the galaxy because he just hasn’t had time to make them. Time, experience, connections, these aren’t things you can replace no matter how smart you are, and I feel like it would have been interesting to see AOS!Kirk deal with some situation that is trickier for him because he’s a Captain with a startlingly small amount of institutional experience. This was also one of those eps that made me curious about the differences in AOS and TOS Kirk-in other words, an ep that relied on his history with Starfleet and his experience, on the reality that he’s a 34 year old man with 15+years of experience in the Fleet. And of course the ep’s ultimate thesis-that humans cannot be completely automated or replaced, and that we should not want to automate or replace humans-is comforting and of a morality I can and want to agree with. And I do think this ep captured that nuance in M-5: it has the speed and abilities of a super computer, the “human” qualities of its creator for well-explained reasons, and the unpredictability of a mechanism that is NEITHER human nor human-controlled tool. There is a real alienness to them that I find scary. The scariness of advanced AI to me is the incredible power it has to act quickly, but in a complete black-box way: you can’t literally see the logic string of its thought processes, and nor can you figure them out easily or completely using the creators’ intentions or logic because the machine has ‘learned’ since its inception, and its learning processes are not human. I feel like most ‘sentient computer’ or ‘advanced AI’ narratives just assume a computer that’s powerful enough will eventually be alive, which is not something I believe. I liked that they specifically went out of their way to explain why the computer was human, how that was part of its design, and then tied that into its creator, his background, his belief system, and his insecurities. I definitely have to think more about the ‘human computer’ concept.
