Lol! What the actual fuck? No.

Compared to the Cybertruck’s design, I don’t think having a LIDAR antenna on top of the car is so bad.

“LIDAR is so lame! Who needs to be able to accurately map their surroundings, when our cars can get confused by a shadow passing across one of their lenses, just like humans do? It’s so much more efficient to be blinded by fog, or low light conditions.”

But I thought they just made it illegal to regulate AI? Oh, wait…that was just for the states. Fuck those guys.

How does anyone consider him a “genius”? This guy is just so stupid.

Yeah, but in “Arena” there was nothing about using humans as incubators / hosts. That’s the part they added in, to make them more “monster-like”. Without that, their motivation is not much different than our own. With that, they are much more terrifying and alien.

To be fair, the old Gorn rationale for attacking the colony was, “You’re in our territory, and we assumed you had hostile intent”…while the SNW rationale is, “We lay eggs in your body, so our young have something to eat when they hatch”.

That’s a significant difference in character motivation.

“The Arena” is originally the first meeting between the Federation and the Gorn, with Kirk and the Gorn captain fighting one-on-one.

But, in SNW, the Gorn have already been encountered, although little is known about them yet, due to the fact that they leave no survivors and seem to make no effort to communicate.

The recon is to the timeline and initial encounter with the species, as well as adding in a lot of new details that were never part of the original concept.

Can we just not?

Whelp. It appears I am a robot. I guess I don’t get to find out what my fellow boys are up to. smh.

(Edit)… apparently I can’t even spell “bots” correctly. I’m failing all the tests today.

Turns out, the government is actually pretty efficient.

This is what the internet is for.

It dissolves…but into what? Sounds like a recipe for a petroleum salt water mix that’s probably just as toxic as melted plastic, unless all the petroleum is removed.
