Is #Plur1bus a veiled warning about generative AI? "They" are endlessly complimentary, and "their" aim is to try to please Carol with what "they" believe she wants, based on the entire knowledge of humanity, but without individual thought or initiative. Thoughts?

Agreed. Unpopular opinion - Oasis are a crap live band (but people who have also seen them may agree with me). Apparently, Liam solo live is better.

Is there a German word for when you had a free moment in the past, and thought, "I'll just do that paperwork, because it'll make my life easier later on." Then you forget what you've done, only to be overjoyed a few weeks later when it's already done.

Before this episode, I thought Helly was being coy about her OTC experience because she was worried about how they would all react - Irv was right to be suspicious. As for the kiss - Helena was jealous of Helly's freedom to love who she wanted to (I think).

AND I get the feeling that they would both consider Frankie and Charlotte's claims equally, rather than thinking "Well Frankie has SEEN what Charlotte is, and Charlotte should have no idea what Frankie is... Unless she's a Traitor". But of course, I doubt they'll use logic.
