My buddy, pete, whose taste in TV and movies is unassailable said it's very good.

Someone said it's like an X Files episode stretched out into an entire series. But its Vince Gilligan and he never misses, so idk

I'm on episode 4. I don't know how I feel about it atm. I can't tell if this is some kitschy Twilight Zone send-up or if Vince has Something to Say about humanity. But it is entertaining and well-directed.

you're missing out if you're not watching Pluribus directed by Vince Gilligan on Apple TV+

credited choice

you should actively avoid discussion about it if you want the peak experience

I"m not seeing any meaningful discussion of it on xo, no spoilers.

If there were long weekly threads about the new episode as it was released, like during Better Call Saul, I would watch and participate, I loved those threads. But as that is not happening, I can safely save them up.

Seems pretty clear to me that the show is an allegory about AI. I know Vince has publicly stated he refuses to use it when writing. Everything about the hive mind in the show has a parallel in GPT/AI if you think about it.

that's a correct reading but it could also be an allegory about the Internet or just GC in general

I suppose, but the analogs are pretty explicitly AI - can’t physically harm anything, can’t lie, aims to please no matter how wrongheaded, feeds on people that have expired (this is the biggest tell imo)

the scene where Carol is at her kitchen table with the bald dood is very ChatGPT inspired
