I felt ashamed at causing Discourse the way I did (no investigation no right to speak) so I watched up to the last episode. I think it’s fine, it’s worth viewing. It does a decent job of making the question of joining the plurbs actually hard to decide. There isn’t really an obvious political allegory, and while I think the show might be commenting on AI as some people in this thread have said, I think there’s a lot of other clear symbols and allusions to other themes that I don’t think it’s just a commentary on LLMs. The commentary on American Chauvinism, similarly, is definitely there but it’s not the meat of the show. The meat is the thought experiment and the character drama.
