Just watched the first 3 episodes of Pluribus and can't help but think that this particular kind of borg collective is just like ChatGPT and other LLMs

Well meaning, wants to please, and very knowledgeable; but ultimately doesn't get it and will probably never get it, because in the final analysis "it" is neither human nor wise.
I had never even heard of this show, when I looked it up the summary said “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”
Is it worth the watch?
im watching heated rivalry the moment i can spare something new
It's decent but they better really turn up the heat in the finale.
She should be named Karen, not Carol.
It’s a great series. In the later episodes, it has a deeper meaning about how people will embrace AI technology or not. Great story for expressing the dilemma.
This is the same conclusion my colleague reached, however I think Pluribus was inspired by something completely different.
There is a new theory that is based on the fact that we are all already One and eternal and that our body is only a passing form to know ourselves from an infinity of points of view.
Search for Federico Faggin and his theories on consciousness and free will.
Definitely worth watching.
Every time I watch it, I’m like, why do I feel like I can relate so much to this? Maybe that’s why.
Agreed, penultimate was poor.
The last couple have dragged a bit. But I have a feeling that's been purposeful to make the finale shine. But. What do I know.
"Imagine a mountain of solid rock six miles long, six miles wide, and six miles high. Once every hundred years a crow flies by with a silk scarf in its beak, just barely caressing the top of the mountain with it. The length of time it would take to wear away that mountain is how Buddha described the journey to enlightenment. That’s the game of incarnations. In the vastness of time any one incarnation is like the blink of an eye in relation to a seventy-year life span. Every time you blink, that’s like another incarnation. Every thought form is like a lifetime.”
sounds interesting, might give it a watch
Vince Gilligan is very good at TV shows
our feelings haven't changed for you
Yeah… same thought here.
It really feels like a Borg-lite version of ChatGPT and other LLMs.
Kinda wild how sci-fi doesn’t feel that fictional anymore.
the 12 links
I concur
It's not a *new* theory, it's actually really ancient, look up the Bhagvadh Geeta.
Sham Altman had also posted "aham Brahmasi" meaning "I am One, I am the Universe, I am The Creator" in a tweet once, referring to the same concept from the scripture mentioned above. ~ MK
watched the first ep of that slop the other week. Not planning to watch ep 2
Thought the same. I think that was the intent.
true but the show was written 8 years ago, before LLM or AI as we know it even existed yet
I had the exact same thought.
the writer has said he is anti-AI
Had the same exact thought
So is it worth watching?
last epp left its worth watching
