Some AI models get more accurate at maths if you ask them to respond as if they are a Star Trek character, ML engineers say::Researchers asking a chatbot to optimize its own prompts found it was best at solving grade-school math when acting like it was on Star Trek.
The suuuper loose gist is the OG crew went back in time to the period the movie was made in, they need a giant whale tank for their mission, they need to enlist a company in that time to make it without money, so they go to some kind of engineering firm without money, but Scotty offers the engineer they’re talking to something else that will serve both their purposes: transparent aluminum. He uses the engineer’s computer (to comic effect) to render the molecule for the engineer who loses his mind over the formula for the crazy substance from the future and agrees to make their whale tank in exchange. It’s an iconic Trek scene despite not being a great Trek movie imho.
Edit: got some points wrong, it’s a plexiglass manufacturer etc, but here’s the scene. https://youtu.be/90eg_erObDo?si=YTYZffsLsEEi1_o_
