Hmm. Have now watched the 2nd episode of Pluribus. There are no delineated characters except our lead, who is like a non-comedic version of Eleanor from The Good Place, while Pirate Girl/Zosia is a non-comedic version of Janet from The Good Place. I still think it's a narrative cul-de-sac.

I used to teach a course on satellite and space communication. A question I posed to the students was, if we received a message from an extraterrestrial intelligence that we realized was a set of instructions for how to build a machine or a biologic, would we build it? Someone, surely, would do so.

Fair enough.

All of us make mistakes in things we write or figures we calculate. But at least they're our mistakes. Auto-correct catches minor typographical stumbles but introduces errors that garble the meaning or embarrass the person who wrote it. That's AI.
