Pluribus, the Apple TV sci-fi series, is drawing fresh attention from viewers who see parallels between the show's collective alien minds, known as the Others, and today's large language models: a repository of the world's knowledge delivered in a charming yet unsettling way. Alongside the AI comparisons, fans are voicing impatience for the confirmed second season to arrive sooner.

Why now: Audiences are revisiting the show and drawing timely parallels to the current boom in AI chatbots while awaiting season 2.

• Rewatched Pluribus and was struck by 1. How much the conversations with the Others reminds me of LLMs: the world’s knowledge, yet still limited, all in a charming but unsettling package and 2. How much I realllllllly want season 2 to come faster. # Pluribus # TV # AppleTV · harris@social.coop · 3
