*SPOILERS but only from episodes 1&2*
I started watching it because it was directed by Vince Gilligan, and also who doesn't love Rhea Seehorn (if she did smth horrible idk i don't keep up /w celebrities don't come @ me lmao). However, once I started watching it /w my dad i could not stop, until he fell asleep & then it felt impolite to watch without him.
It's a pretty traditional apocalypse movie at the beginning, but there's a twist, even from the start. There's a mind virus, but it turns people into a hive mind, without diminishing their respective capabilities. It adds together the intellectual and knowledge-based strengths of every person on earth, and then gives that to every single person. Creepy!
I think that the hive-mind could be a metaphor for AI, but maybe that's just because it's been on my mind. Mainly, it reminded me of this copy-pasta:
"Applying for jobs again:
'Can you describe specific ways you have integrated Al tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond simple prompt usage.'
there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.
it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. "you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster." there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn't mean it has no price
for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Just wanted to recommend it to everybody, since it is so good! Like I said, I haven't been able to watch all of it that's been released yet, so pls no spoilers if you leave a comment!
