Pluribus and the AI World We're Already Living in

BRET: I have the unsettling feeling that intentionally or not it is actually mirroring a horror that we are already living and that in fact, as much as there is something alien in origin, involved in Pluribus, that the unsettling fact of what's going on with humanity is not very different from everybody in the room being coordinated through some device that is connected to an outside network.

HEATHER: The alien could easily be read as metaphor in the show.

BRET: Yeah. And so I'm struggling a little bit with it. I'm enjoying the show, but, I'm struggling a little bit with whether or not, let's say that, you know, if it's inadvertent, it just happens to be resonant because we're all living something for which the metaphor works.

HEATHER: I don't think it's inadvertent. I hope not.
