People keep calling this show a mystery box show, but they should really call it a bottle episode show. 95% of the screen time is 2 characters yapping back and forth at each other (Kim and Plurbussy). If more variables aren't introduced soon I'm going to lose interest.

Source on the 600 years thing? Think i missed that detail. My point is that there's some degree of favoritism at play in terms of how they operate. Like, when Carol sarcastically asked for an atom bomb, they hesitated and tried to dance around the subject before asking if she really wanted one. It leads me to believe that they are programmed to do whatever the survivors ask, but there's some unspoken ulterior motive in the background.

The signal came from 600 light years away, so the earliest it could have been sent was 600 years ago, though like they say on the show it could have been broadcasting through all of human history or longer and they only just now noticed it. I don't think they're programmed to help the survivors, the virus just makes them agreeable to allow the hivemind to even function. How would it work if they could disagree? The unaffected people are just able to exploit this because they don't have to agree with the hivemind.

I still believe the hivemind will end up enslaved by an alien civilization. Probably not until at least hundreds or thousands of years in the future, but the moment they make their Joining presence known in the universe they're doomed.
The planet that sent the ARN code was 600 light years away, this is mentioned in the first episode.

I didn't mean that they're programmed to "help" the survivors, I think the hivemind is programmed to keep them alive for an unspoken reason. Look at how incapable they at responding to Carol's inquiries about a timeline on when they'd figure out her assimilation. So you're telling me that you have a volatile actor capable of killing millions of your kind roaming around freely, and you go out of your way to save her life without a clear method of dealing with the risk?

They can't harm here, and won't allow her to come to harm if she doesn't want to be hurt. They're mitigating the risk by trying to make her happy, they're incapable of hurting her.

>they don't know when they'll make the breakthrough, they're not omniscient.

Yeah, i understand that. For me, though, it's a very uncertain thing because we haven't even seen what they're capable of creating organically, so far it's done nothing more than draw from everything humanity already knows. I think they'll focus more on the ingenuity of the hivemind closer to the season finale, so we'll have to see what happens.

>They can't harm here, and won't allow her to come to harm if she doesn't want to be hurt.

Yeah I guess I can understand that, still it's strange that she recieves these special privileges that put the health of the hivemind at risk. Looking at it through an efficiency standpoint, they're sacrificing the lives of millions of their kind just to assimilate one bitch. Very strange.

She doesn't really have special privileges, they're just treating her like they would a person who was in the hive, but since she's not in the hive she can ask things that a hivemind person never would, it's like an exploit.

Your wife is more based than you are, but she is wrong about this in particular. Carol is a dyke with everything that comes with dykeness, IE - dykeshit, but the show actively portrays her in a bad light while also portraying the plurb and every other character in a bad light, including and honestly especially the minorities that are immune

The story we are seeing now has been told before though. This isn't a new concept. Star Trek over used this with the borg for over a decade
>>
>>215996697
Because they have memories, which are inherently flawed and can literally be wrong. Infact there are some """"""studies""""""" (make of them what you will) that say memories are wrong most of the time and are recolored constantly by current experience. That every time you remember something you're actually remembering the last time you remembered it and not the actual subject itself. It doesn't have an active, functioning personality and it seemingly can't have thoughts based on emotion, only on pure logic, meaning half of all thinking is locked off from the plurb
>>

>>
>>215996801
Also to give you an example
In highschool, I remember being required to do 4 years of PE to graduate when I started in freshman year, but in junior year, just as the year started they dropped that requiment so it was only 2 years. I had already been signed up for junior year and couldnt switch off, so I made the decision to just ditch every single PE class because it didn't matter. I even told the teacher of that class what I was doing and he didn't care at all. So in junior year, every day in 7th period I would go outside and just relax until 8th. This is what I remember happening. But the thing is that I'm only half sure that it happened. I can only really remember being outside a couple of times during those periods, which may be mixed with my memories of having half-days due to school events. I would often go outside during lunch, so that could have also just been mixed-in memories. But I SPECIFICALLY remember talking to other students about the change in requirements and that it was bullshit. I don't remeber if they said they would ditch, but I knew that I said I would. It was also because at my school you were "allowed" to fail one class without any repercussions, so I decided to actively fail that one since it didn't matter anyways, so it double-didn't matter. I think. Anyways, my point is that while Plurb has all of the memories of mankind, half of its internal monologue is going to inevitable be, "I don't remember"
Because memories are nowhere near as "powerful" as actual active thought, if that makes sense
>>

I feel like so far the episodes have somewhat predictable based on their titles, unlike previous VG shows. The next one also is if you compare it to the description of e4 on imdb.
>got milk
No idea
>HDP
Could be hijo de puta but it could also refer to other acronyms.
Humanitarian Development Peace Nexus: Too much to type here but I can definitely see how that can apply here.
Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy: They are experimenting on Carol's eggs to crack the immunity (IVF) with complications?
Hardship Duty Pay: There are more uninfected that the hive isn't aware of people/service members who are in extremely harsh living conditions. Maybe presumed dead?
>The Gap

The obvious one here is that the hive tries to seduce Carol/Paraguy to switch sides so probably not that. Other than that no idea.

it's not JUST a hivemind, it's a hivemind+utopia disease. so the plurbs are not just the average of all human beings. they are that, but then given extreme autism and now they just want to sit around and play with their train set (satellite dish the size of Africa). Carol is one of the only other people left on Earth, so the plurbs can only be triggered into a tendie meltdown by interacting with her. the other unchanged people are fully indulging its autistic make-believe.

Same, I like to think most anons are pirating too.
>>
>>215997526
that's not even a theory, that's just me describing the show.

my theory though is that the disease is self-replicating across star systems. the plurbs keep saying they have a "biological imperative". each PLURBED race probably gets their shit together, starts scanning the galaxy for other ayys, engineers a plurb-virus targeting that other race, and beams it out to them. the ayys who PLURBED us already got PLURBED themselves 600 years ago. there's no conquering happening, just a self-replicating pattern eating all intelligent life in the universe, one plurb-mind at a time. that's my theory.

I may be knocking on wood but I've pirated every episode of Pluribus and Severance and My ISP didn't send one letter. Apple's shows are vanity projects for the showrunners. They don't even care who is paying for them and who is torrenting. All they care about is awards.

the hive understands sarcasm, it just doesn't want to risk making carol unhappy if she's being serious about wanting a hand grenade. so the hive gives it to her anyway to be safe. it's counter intuitive that the hive will help uninfected people hurt themselves and animals, or that it will kill hundreds of millions to 'join' everyone. the show itself and carol point out how hypocritical it is

you can also see very subtle emotions the hive makes when mcboner is taking advantage of it. the hive just can't say no because it would mean making mcboner unhappy. so there is still human emotions going on, but they're heavily dampened by its compulsive need to please the uninfected people

this show needs a young hivemind lady,you are telling me that lesbian carol is not getting horny for some vagina at this point?
ditch that no ass zosia

>>215997618
could also be that some central alien civilization is putting every other race into a hive mind to use them as processing power the same way you would using many computers to solve various life mysteries about the Universe and it is imperative that they figure out why outliers like Carol don't conform because it puts a danger to that plan IE if she asks the hive mind for nukes and starts detonating them around the planet. I don' think it was a coincidence that nukes were mentioned since humanity sees them as something that can end the planet and how awkward that discussion was with them. The hive aren't being nice on purpose, this is how they are made to interact with one another and can't be changed and most likely it scares them when they see people like Carol thus they do their best to pacify them until they get a "cure" (see the other non infected).

are there men on this show or is it just post menopausal hags?
>>
plurb named finger
>>
>>215997820
There's a paraguayan guy who might be a key character later on. The black gooner will probably come back later too. But I feel like the show will be mostly Carol and her relationship with the plurb.
>>
>>215997818
also I was thinking about why they don't just kill Carol and the others. The only answer I can come up with is when this hive mind conformity virus was created, not killing each other is baked into it so that rule applies to people not infected as well. This whole show comes off as a pseudo remake of I Am Legend and I suspect Carol will soon begin to understand how much power she wields and how much these infected fear her.

The hivemind can lie and commit acts of violence against living beings. Do not trust the hivemind

>>215998007
My biggest question is: ok they won't kill Carol, but why did they save her? The grenade was her idea, she activated it, etc yet the plurb saved her.

why is it so hard for you guys to accept that the plurbs have alien psychology? they don't see things the same way you or I do. to them, their own deaths are less significant than making someone unhappy. it's probably part of what keeps the hivemind in sync with each other, but it makes them bad at interacting with a non-plurb like Carol. it's like they're native americans with no resistance to disease, and her lesbian karen attitude is malaria on a European conquistador.
>>
>>215998096
I think they have rules and one of the rules is to help each other and these rules apply to anyone even not infected since these people weren't planned and eventually Carol will use this to her advantage. Everything they do seems stupid but it all came with the pretense that everyone will be like them and people like Carol wouldn't exist

>>215997744
continued: maybe the hive is just a normal human being except with an extreme pathological aversion to causing unhappiness in others. treating an uninfected human with hostility would be like shooting them, from its perspective. so it avoids lying, being sarcastic, etc. making carol sad is psychological torture to the hive, so it gives her a hand grenade to avoid that (even if that weapon hurts carol anyway)

I think you're hitting on something missing from the discussions. The hive isn't happy because it's the average of all humans, and not because it's an alien consciousness that simply has access to humanity's collective memories, its some sort of mechanism that overrides its constituents' emotional regulation defaulting to happy cooperation above all else. I think besides that, it simply is everybody's consciousnesses bundled together

Sure, because Chat-GPT is also a collection of all human knowledge. But the pluribus has biological imperatives a robot wouldn't have and we don't even know if it's able to generate art/entertainment for example. Another key difference is pluribus is ultimately human and I'm pretty sure it still has emotions and an ego. We know it feels constant bliss. AI, even a self-aware one, wouldn't be able to "feel". Maybe I'm just coping hard because I think an anti-AI message would be too lazy.

If you analyze everything with a cold, calculating mind I think you will see why, even if the possibility of sarcasm is there, the hivemind didn't want to gamble. Because an unhappy Carol is deadly and miles of magnitude worse than being percieved as an awkward autismo.
>>
>>215998727
Itms not a retarded robot, it understands sarcasm. It just reasoned that the risk of not pleasing Carol by not providing the grenade outweighs the reward of correctly interpreting her request as sarcasm.
>>
>>215998566
>it simply is everybody's consciousnesses bundled together
yeah i truly think so. it's just that the alien pathogen has messed with everyone's emotions and pain response to a point where saying 'no' to carol is unimaginable psychological torture. detonating a nuke would be less painful for it than just saying 'no' to carol

we've literally seen it convulse and have spaz attacks just because carol yelled at it. the hive is just a normal human being but really, really sensitive to negative emotions. so it goes along with what uninfected people order it to do even if it makes the hive miserable

that shot of the zosia looking at carol before going on air force one really shows that the hive is just a normal person and that it feels things. it might even be capable of falling in love (with carol). pluribus might actually be a love story. it keeps focusing on carol's relationship, and carol getting upset at the hive for mentioning helen. this might evolve into carol and the hive falling in love. maybe the hive (which is just a normal human) will exempt carol once it discovers the cure for the uninfected. its love will override its biological impulse to spread
>>
>>215998795
No they have the brain of every single person on earth to derive logic and meaning from and they have a lot of life experiences and memories of Carol from her lesbo lover so they should understand what sarcasm is.
>>
>>215998786

There is absolutely no way of getting proper assurance about its promises without potentially fucking yourself and everyone else in the process, the only choice is to trust it or end up with a MAD situation.

Is there a limited amount of plurbs for each person? If I want 5b plurbs to crowdsurf me everywhere does that work?

You know really this shows problem is no one is doing or asking anything a real person would in this scenario. They touch on the sex stuff with the brown guy but talk about brushing over something. As if they'd just be hanging out with him with occasional missionary position instead of sucking and rimming him 24/7. But this show would never go there. So we get "errrmm can you get drunk ?

Honestly the Sprouts scene made me feel like it could be cool to be a plurb. Sure, you don't really have a sense of self anymore, and you can probably die a horrible gruesome death without the hivemind caring. But moving in unison with thousands of other people to accomplish things that were previously impossible for human beings to do, just because we don't have the coordination on our own... that sounds pretty amazing. I might get PLURBED just to hang out with the bros building ziggurats all day.

Is your consciousness still alive, though
Like OK it's uploaded. But what's uploaded will be a snapshot of your consciousness at the time of your death/uploading to the plurb cloud, it won;t grow or change with time. It can't, because how could it individually process and incorporate the simultaneous existences of billions of plurbs? Your consciousness is there but it's just reference material, you are not meaningfully alive in any sense any more.

I would say that it's still alive in the sense that a glass of water still exists when you pour it into the ocean. But there was a scene where a specific individual mind in the hive "says" that a water bottle is good to drink, so maybe there's some preservation of boundaries between minds.

Following this line of thought, would the internet be effectively useless? The internet is our version of telepathy and collective consciousness, but it would be useless to the hicemind.

just the entity pluribus, which is actually a singular despite it's "preferred pronouns."

Thats the whole thing about Carol, she is an insufferable cunt. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a flashback of hers about lurking in /lit/ shitposting about other shitty smut for women to try and make her own book look better a little bit.
Hell, I'm starting to think she didn't really cared about Helen as a person, and more like she cared about her because she was hers and thats it.
Carol probably still has a point in what she does, but she does it in such a way that the hivemind should really, REALLY consider putting her in a cell and learn to say no to requests from her.
I'm pretty sure that the hivemind is communicating with every single person in the world at the same time in a fracture of a second, but it still ended up choking about Carol asking for a nuke.
Seriously, the hivemind transformation of everyone in the world racked almost a billion deaths, but they clearly didn't had any intention on harming anyone, and neither did Carol the first time she caused a massive seizure the first time. But after that she knows that being mean to the hivemind could kill millions in minutes, and she still does it. She really shouldn't be let free.
But for fuck sake, the hivemind just won't do it. They have Helens memories now, and they think that Carol is a good person, and that Helen wanted to make her happy so they want to honor that request. Thats is partly why they are obssesed in making her happy.

Why the fuck isnt this dumb bitch asking about the origin of the signal or getting the hive mind caught in logic/philosophy traps. It’s clearly flawed.

it'd be set to Mr. Sandman, and he would be focusing on lots of details like turning off the displays to clean the glass, making sure the seats swiveled freely, etc.

20min in this show seems retarded, everyone becomes fake and gay after a kiss but Carol can get kissed but didn't become fake because she's already gay?

Not gonna lie, so far it does look a bit nice, but mostly it makes me curious about how does the hivemind exactly works. The issues would be surviving the surprise mass seizure that comes first.
On the other hand, if i ended up in the rare case of being inmune I would mostly like to study much as i can first.
>How does it work exactly?
>How do they communicate at all?
>How does it work to have the minds of every person in the world linked in every single body at the same time?
>Where is the alien transmission coming from? Can we communicate with them?
>How will worldwide production and logistics work?
>What does the hivemind drone people like to eat?
>Do each drone has personal preferences still?
>How would sex between drones work
>Do they have massive orgies, or if they still have personal preferences just move and meet a mate to have breeding sex on a one night stand?
>How does it work for the terrible people that had mental illnesses, harmful fetishes, and other harmful urges?
>How does it work with animals?
>How would you collect some resources if the way to acquire them are by hurting another living thing, which goes againest the hiveminds code of ethics?
>Does the hivemind work with a directing entity, a general consensus in the split of a second, or does it all just feels like a natural reaction?
>If i wanted to have sex with any of you, am i having sex with the individual while everyone's mind is on that person, with another individuals mind in that specific bod, or with the individual in that specific body but with also all the knowledge and other likes from every single other person linked?
>What does the hivemind think of me other than assimilation?
>Would the hivemind sacrifice drones for simple efficiency reasons, or only when other drones lives are at stake?
>What do we do after total assimilation?
Besides this, i think id just do like the french guy, fuck a bunch of girls, try a bunch of vegetarian food, see if i can kill Carol.
