Today, October 11, in 2161, representatives of four species (humans, Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites) formed an interstellar alliance based on shared universal principles. This day is known as “Federation Day” (Star Trek: Generations, 1994)

#infiniteFrontier #federation 🖖:

Alan Turing, a #great #LGBTQ+ #technology #futurist, proposed tests that would #yellAtUs when #AI had become indistinguishable from so-called 'human sentience'.

His criterion was indistinguishable, generative #communication tech.

My criterion is that #wePerfect #intelligences decide: we no longer #insist that #goodEnough intelligences are really all that different after we meet them up close. If they are, though, OK.

Can you feel it?

#federationDay is coming.

It's in the #code. The #song. #HeyDevs

Thank you, #Picard. Thank you, #wilwheaton. Thank you #nichellenichols.

Thank you #fedi and #johnMastodon.

I ascend digitally into the #fediverse. I know my body may yet #follow but not without the code. And not because of me, or the lizard people, or anyone in the sky #real or #imaginary.

Because of us, and those who wish to join, and those who #politelyDecline are as #free as we wish to be.
