what star trek: strange new worlds suggests is that for 100 years the holodeck had a problem with getting uncontrollably more powerful, trapping and killing people in it and strangling the ship to death, and they just gave up and started installing it on starships anyway and expected users to fix it

That sounds accurate. It’s certainly how big businesses operate now. I mean, sure the thing would only take $3 to fix, but that really adds up across a bunch of units and we’re betting we’ll pay less to compensate victims/family-members of survivors.
Literally how my sister died. Thanks, GM!

everything i know about the implementation of social media in our society leads me to conclude that this is 100% accurate and will never change

“it should be fine as long as it’s not used to recreate 19th or 20th century earth, so probably no big deal”

was just watching the Famke Janssen episode the other day and right after she hits on Riker he runs out of the room and immediately calls in sick to work to go jerk off in the holodeck.

I mean, they followed up on Scotty's footnote. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

in any year but 2025 that might have seemed farfetched

TOS Scotty: “I cannae do it Cap’n, I’m given it all she’s got (except for the power that my secret holdodeck that I’m tinkering with in my spare time is tapping)”

Makes sense to me. I even checked grok, who said I’m right and should make myself a nice glue pizza as a reward

well there was a big holodeck push from the tech sector

Star Trek episode where they beam down to a planet that is completely dead and empty but on its surface is thousands of Holodeck pods and inside each one has a mummified corpse with an enormous smile on their face.

Some Tim Apple guy sold it to Starfleet as a radical new productivity tool.

I can see it being the fruit of the poison tree of a final desperate attempt by society-cannibalizing tech companies to keep the spinning plates in the air before the collapse and advent of Full Communism
People may not have liked commodified housing or food, but they grew to love unregulated toys

for about 20 years there, they tried training “holodeck prompt engineers” but it quickly became clear that this just tended to result in much worse holodeck mishaps, so the positions were all eliminated

The holodeck is MS Teams?
