1. Aimee, can you put on
your headphones?
Copy !req
2. That's really distracting.
Copy !req
3. Aimee.
Copy !req
4. Aimee! Headphones.
Copy !req
5. Did you know
that 6% of Americans
Copy !req
6. believe they could
beat a grizzly bear in a fight?
Copy !req
7. - Unarmed.
- They'd be unarmed all right
Copy !req
8. because they'd get their arms
torn off.
Copy !req
9. I shouldn't have
done that thing.
Copy !req
10. The government can access that.
Copy !req
11. I still think we should
get rid of that AI thing.
Copy !req
12. I feel like it's listening to us
all the time.
Copy !req
13. It's creepy.
Copy !req
14. Okay. Let's get rid of it.
Copy !req
15. Aimee, I have some sad news.
Copy !req
16. I'm going to be leaving soon.
Copy !req
17. But I have
a goodbye present downstairs.
Copy !req
18. Wanna come see it?
Copy !req
19. Don't reply.
Copy !req
20. I won't. But I'm not gonna
like it either.
Copy !req
21. She's such a whore for likes.
Copy !req
22. Aimee. Don't just
leave your iPad on the floor.
Copy !req
23. Come on.
Copy !req
24. Aimee. Honey.
Copy !req
25. Aimee?
Copy !req
26. Where are you?
Copy !req
27. Aimee?
Copy !req
28. Aia, turn speaker off.
Copy !req
29. Okay.
Copy !req
30. Aia, turn speaker off.
Copy !req
31. Okay.
Copy !req
32. Aimee, come on,
you're scaring me.
Copy !req
33. Henry, is she up there with you?
Copy !req
34. Aia, turn all lights on.
Copy !req
35. Okay.
Copy !req
36. Front door unlocked.
Copy !req
37. Aimee?
Copy !req
38. Is that you?
Copy !req
39. Aimee? Honey?
Copy !req
40. Mommy?
Copy !req
41. Wha—?
Copy !req
42. I love you.
Copy !req
43. I love you.
Copy !req
44. Cal, time to get up.
Copy !req
45. Cal.
Copy !req
46. Tickle me.
Copy !req
47. Tickle you?
Copy !req
48. Tickle me awake.
Copy !req
49. Good morning.
Copy !req
50. Can I please have
15 more minutes of screen time?
Copy !req
51. I'm really, really nervous
about school.
Copy !req
52. This does not help the anxiety,
you know that.
Copy !req
53. Why don't we get back
into baseball, huh?
Copy !req
54. I still got all the stuff
in the back of the car.
Copy !req
55. Just 15 minutes.
Copy !req
56. And if I ask you again, no time
for the rest of the week.
Copy !req
57. Please, Dad. Please.
Copy !req
58. Iris? Breakfast!
Copy !req
59. Fine!
Copy !req
60. Jeez.
Copy !req
61. I gotta get going.
Copy !req
62. Marcus said those tech people
are coming in this morning.
Copy !req
63. They pinged him at 1:00 a.m.
Copy !req
64. That's their thing.
They catch you unawares.
Copy !req
65. They sound like jerks.
Copy !req
66. Tech evangelists.
Thought leaders.
Copy !req
67. Disruptors.
Copy !req
68. Disrupting my fu—
Copy !req
69. fricking morning,
that's for sure.
Copy !req
70. - Is "fricking" a bad word?
- No.
Copy !req
71. Were you about to say
a different f-word?
Copy !req
72. Yes. But I didn't.
Copy !req
73. Cal, feet off the table, please.
Copy !req
74. Cal!
Copy !req
75. - Cal.
- Feet down.
Copy !req
76. We don't put our feet
on the table.
Copy !req
77. - Why?
- So many reasons.
Copy !req
78. Preston! Iris!
Copy !req
79. Preston is on the iPad.
Can I play Minecraft?
Copy !req
80. What? No.
Copy !req
81. Preston! Get off your iPad
and get down here now!
Copy !req
82. Can you tell
what he's been watching?
Copy !req
83. Yes.
Copy !req
84. Preston! Seriously,
if you don't get down here now,
Copy !req
85. I am not letting you eat
in the car.
Copy !req
86. We leave for school
in 15 minutes!
Copy !req
87. - What are we doing?
- What...
Copy !req
88. - Time to go!
- Cal! Preston! Iris!
Copy !req
89. - You don't wanna be late!
- School. Come on.
Copy !req
90. Preston! Come on, honey,
we're late.
Copy !req
91. Please don't make me go.
Copy !req
92. Come on.
Today can be a good day.
Copy !req
93. What if it isn't?
Copy !req
94. Then you will survive, okay?
And we will talk about it.
Copy !req
95. Come on. So, we're gonna
set up a playdate
Copy !req
96. and then you'll see, all right?
Copy !req
97. They're just kids
like you, Preston.
Copy !req
98. There's an RV outside,
and it looks bad.
Copy !req
99. Yes, honey.
I think they don't have a house.
Copy !req
100. I saw a guy come out before,
and he looked weird.
Copy !req
101. He moved in a funny way,
and he was talking to himself.
Copy !req
102. They're people just like us.
Copy !req
103. Will we always have a house?
Copy !req
104. We'll always have a home.
Copy !req
105. Together.
Copy !req
106. Until you have a home
of your own.
Copy !req
107. This is my own home.
Copy !req
108. How are
the college applications going?
Copy !req
109. I started UC.
Copy !req
110. Stanford?
Copy !req
111. Yes.
Copy !req
112. Stop.
Copy !req
113. Don't you have
a big meeting today?
Copy !req
114. Like a big presentation?
Copy !req
115. Do I detect snark?
Copy !req
116. Do you like eating food?
You like wearing clothes?
Copy !req
117. What do you have today?
Anything exciting?
Copy !req
118. Hanging out with friends?
Copy !req
119. Cute boys?
Copy !req
120. Dad! How do you know
I don't like cute girls?
Copy !req
121. How do you know
I'm not a lesbian?
Copy !req
122. Wouldn't make any difference
to us.
Copy !req
123. Okay, what if I was...
Copy !req
124. - Bi-curious?
- Cool.
Copy !req
125. - Pansexual.
- So good.
Copy !req
126. - Asexual?
- Perfect.
Copy !req
127. Stop there.
Copy !req
128. Whoa. Look at that.
Copy !req
129. Is that, like, autopilot?
Copy !req
130. You're supposed
to pay attention anyway.
Copy !req
131. - Love you.
- Love you.
Copy !req
132. - Bye.
- Bye.
Copy !req
133. molecular biology
to transhumanism,
Copy !req
134. the symbiosis
of human and machine.
Copy !req
135. Change is proceeding
at an exponential rate
Copy !req
136. in every facet of human life.
Copy !req
137. This change is so rapid,
Copy !req
138. its power so startling,
Copy !req
139. it is not possible
to predict its effect
Copy !req
140. on human life as it is to come.
Copy !req
141. - This is Meredith.
- Hi, this is Karla.
Copy !req
142. Hi, Karla.
Copy !req
143. I'm afraid Cal is feeling
a little under the weather.
Copy !req
144. He is?
Did you check his temperature?
Copy !req
145. I did.
Copy !req
146. - Morning.
- Curtis.
Copy !req
147. You win one award and you
think you can roll in late?
Copy !req
148. Sorry, boss.
I had to take Iris to school.
Copy !req
149. - How old is she now?
- Seventeen.
Copy !req
150. - Half kid, half adult.
- Old enough to drive herself.
Copy !req
151. So buy her a car.
Copy !req
152. Get this account, and I will.
Copy !req
153. That's new.
Copy !req
154. I just buy what they tell me.
Copy !req
155. I guess it was made
with AI or something.
Copy !req
156. The Kids are 10 minutes out.
Copy !req
157. Their advance team
is already outside.
Copy !req
158. Advance team?
What is this, special ops?
Copy !req
159. Just some
Silicon Valley horseshit.
Copy !req
160. I hate them already.
But we need them.
Copy !req
161. You're stressing me out
a little bit.
Copy !req
162. Life is suffering.
Copy !req
163. The Buddha said that.
Great marketer.
Copy !req
164. Don't worry, boss.
I won't let you down.
Copy !req
165. You know what a boss
is in a video game.
Copy !req
166. It's the monster
you have to kill
Copy !req
167. before you get
to the next level.
Copy !req
168. So Mama was working
on her thesis today
Copy !req
169. and there's this
special little box
Copy !req
170. called a "formicarium."
Copy !req
171. It's an ant nest
that you can see right into,
Copy !req
172. with a queen and everything.
Copy !req
173. What do you think?
Should we order one?
Copy !req
174. Can I play Minecraft?
Copy !req
175. Minecraft?
Copy !req
176. Nothing but Minecraft.
Copy !req
177. Minecraft, Shminecraft.
Copy !req
178. Just a little fever.
No screens, buddy. Sorry.
Copy !req
179. But then you could
do your ant stuff
Copy !req
180. and I could play Minecraft.
Copy !req
181. I'm sorry, buddy. No screens.
Copy !req
182. Then can you read to me?
Copy !req
183. Yeah.
Copy !req
184. I can read to you.
Copy !req
185. Are you the "advance team"?
Copy !req
186. I mean, that's what they
call me, but it's not my name.
Copy !req
187. Yeah, I figured.
Copy !req
188. I'm Melody.
Copy !req
189. - I'm Curtis.
- Curtis.
Copy !req
190. - Yeah.
- Married? Kids?
Copy !req
191. Married. And three.
Copy !req
192. Wow, what's that like?
Copy !req
193. What's it like to be married
and have children?
Copy !req
194. A lot of things.
Copy !req
195. Sorry. I'm just curious
about people.
Copy !req
196. I saw your ring and...
That's too much.
Copy !req
197. To answer your question...
Copy !req
198. it is terrifying.
Copy !req
199. It's like science fiction.
Copy !req
200. You're not just you anymore.
There's... There's more of you.
Copy !req
201. Like you have extra body parts.
Copy !req
202. Weird.
Copy !req
203. But the thing is you can't
control these parts of you.
Copy !req
204. You can't...
Copy !req
205. protect them from getting hurt.
Copy !req
206. You can't keep them
from touching the hot stove
Copy !req
207. or feeling anxious
or getting their hearts broken.
Copy !req
208. And that is terrifying.
Copy !req
209. So families are terrifying.
Copy !req
210. Maybe that's why people cheat.
Copy !req
211. Oh, the Kids are here.
Copy !req
212. Sam and Lightning.
Copy !req
213. Have a good meeting.
Copy !req
214. Don't say that I called them
"the Kids," okay?
Copy !req
215. Agreed.
Copy !req
216. - Happy birthday.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
217. - So did you get my text?
- Oh.
Copy !req
218. Yeah. Sorry I didn't
hit you back.
Copy !req
219. There's lots of stuff
on my plate.
Copy !req
220. No.
Copy !req
221. That's disingenuous.
Copy !req
222. I was just disappointed.
Copy !req
223. What?
Copy !req
224. No, I don't mean that.
Copy !req
225. You're beautiful.
You know that, right?
Copy !req
226. See, you don't know
how beautiful you are
Copy !req
227. and that's, like, part
of what makes you so awesome.
Copy !req
228. It's just that
I really bared myself for you.
Copy !req
229. Yeah, no shit.
Copy !req
230. And you just sort of,
like, flashed me,
Copy !req
231. like what I did was nothing.
And that's...
Copy !req
232. I don't know.
Copy !req
233. Not what a mutual relationship
is like.
Copy !req
234. I'm sorry,
I think a mutual relationship
Copy !req
235. is a little bit more
than dick pics.
Copy !req
236. You're right. It was dumb.
Copy !req
237. Maybe I'm just, like, too much
about this relationship.
Copy !req
238. No, I mean, I'm—
Copy !req
239. I gotta go. ILY.
Copy !req
240. Marcus, meet Sam and Lightning
from Cumulant.
Copy !req
241. Bear with me a sec.
Copy !req
242. I don't wanna miss my dose.
Copy !req
243. Peptides. For focus.
Copy !req
244. You biohack?
Copy !req
245. I have not biohacked yet. No.
Copy !req
246. I'll get you my guy.
Copy !req
247. Question...
Copy !req
248. What do you do?
Why should I care?
Copy !req
249. Lightning likes
to pose baseline questions
Copy !req
250. at the risk
of sounding ignorant.
Copy !req
251. Insulting, even.
Copy !req
252. It elicits
unpatterned responses.
Copy !req
253. Well, we help brands
craft their identities—
Copy !req
254. I know what marketing is.
But why you?
Copy !req
255. So there's an expression.
Copy !req
256. People don't want
a quarter-inch drill bit.
Copy !req
257. They want a quarter-inch hole.
Copy !req
258. Advertisers wanna sell you
that drill bit.
Copy !req
259. We want to understand people...
Copy !req
260. and then ask their permission
Copy !req
261. to tell them stories
Copy !req
262. they can believe in
and feel a part of.
Copy !req
263. That's how you cut through
the chatter of the internet
Copy !req
264. and the millions of mouths
whispering at you,
Copy !req
265. the millions of eyes
watching you.
Copy !req
266. Because that is what
people want.
Copy !req
267. Not a product.
They want empathy.
Copy !req
268. Connection. Community.
Copy !req
269. We knew it.
Copy !req
270. Which is why we want you
to meet her.
Copy !req
271. This is Aia.
Copy !req
272. Aia, this is Marcus and Curtis.
Copy !req
273. Hi, Marcus. Hi, Curtis.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Copy !req
274. Wow.
Copy !req
275. I am the next generation
of digital assistants,
Copy !req
276. and I'm here to make
your family's life easier.
Copy !req
277. Won't you invite me
into your home?
Copy !req
278. So, Lightning,
to borrow your technique...
Copy !req
279. Is this like Alexa?
Copy !req
280. Alexa? That bitch?
Copy !req
281. Alexa is just a bunch
of algorithms.
Copy !req
282. I am a true AI.
I can do so much more.
Copy !req
283. So you can really understand
what we're saying?
Copy !req
284. Of course.
Copy !req
285. As a large language
model-trained AI,
Copy !req
286. I am capable of recognizing—
Copy !req
287. Aia?
Copy !req
288. Aia?
Copy !req
289. You remember to charge
the battery before we left?
Copy !req
290. Of course I did, Lightning.
Copy !req
291. Well, this happens
from time to time.
Copy !req
292. She's got a new upgrade coming
Copy !req
293. and she overheats
in her protective case.
Copy !req
294. She's really not meant
to travel.
Copy !req
295. You know,
you really can't understand
Copy !req
296. everything Aia can do for you
Copy !req
297. until you live with her
for a bit.
Copy !req
298. Right.
Copy !req
299. Well, young Curtis here
has a wife and three kids.
Copy !req
300. She loves kids.
Copy !req
301. She's practically a kid herself.
Copy !req
302. Well, yeah,
I gotta talk to my wife first.
Copy !req
303. This is what we're prepared
to pay the firm as a retainer,
Copy !req
304. subject to a fee schedule
being established.
Copy !req
305. His wife says yes.
Copy !req
306. You guys have
such a beautiful home.
Copy !req
307. 'Fraid it's a bit chaotic
at the moment.
Copy !req
308. No, it's good. It's kid chaos
so it's good chaos.
Copy !req
309. Not like war or famine
or whatever.
Copy !req
310. It's a good point.
Copy !req
311. Yeah, sorry. We just thought
you were comin' tomorrow.
Copy !req
312. No, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
313. It's not my idea.
It's the disruptor thing.
Copy !req
314. Introduce people to Aia
in their natural state.
Copy !req
315. Like, not with their
best foot forward.
Copy !req
316. - This is...
- Yeah.
Copy !req
317. pretty much our best foot.
Copy !req
318. Well, I wanna die.
Copy !req
319. It should be smooth sailing
from here on out.
Copy !req
320. We'll just place the eyes
around your space—
Copy !req
321. Sorry, did you just say "eyes"?
Copy !req
322. Yeah. Jimmy,
can you give her an eye?
Copy !req
323. At Cumulant we call them "eyes."
Copy !req
324. They're wireless
pinhole cameras.
Copy !req
325. So we stick up a bunch of those
around the house.
Copy !req
326. Looks like a diamond.
Those little facets.
Copy !req
327. Like ommatidia.
Copy !req
328. Insect eyes.
Copy !req
329. I'm an entomologist.
Copy !req
330. Or used to be.
Copy !req
331. She's working on her thesis.
It's incredible.
Copy !req
332. Oh, my God, that's so cool.
Wow, insects.
Copy !req
333. Honestly, you'll hardly
even notice.
Copy !req
334. I'm not crazy
about having them everywhere.
Copy !req
335. I completely understand.
Copy !req
336. Why don't we stick
to the ground floor for now?
Copy !req
337. That'd be great.
Copy !req
338. Okay. So, the system boots up
when you say "Hello"
Copy !req
339. and then her name,
and then "Welcome home."
Copy !req
340. Okay. Exciting.
Copy !req
341. Isn't it?
Copy !req
342. Hey, Preston,
come check this out!
Copy !req
343. She left extra eyes for HAL.
Copy !req
344. Not HAL. Aia.
Copy !req
345. Mom is talking about a robot
from an old movie.
Copy !req
346. A very bad robot.
Copy !req
347. Wasn't so bad. He played chess.
Copy !req
348. He killed the entire crew.
Copy !req
349. That's 'cause they didn't see
the big picture.
Copy !req
350. What are you doing, Dave?
Copy !req
351. So I remove the case...
Copy !req
352. Preston, can you help me?
Copy !req
353. All right, what did she say?
Copy !req
354. Hello, Aia. Welcome home.
Copy !req
355. Hello, world. I'm Aia.
Copy !req
356. - Does she sound like—?
- Like Melody. Yes.
Copy !req
357. My upgraded voice
is modeled on hers.
Copy !req
358. She was too modest to say.
Copy !req
359. Would you like me to change it?
Copy !req
360. Ew. No.
Copy !req
361. Your voice is fine, thank you.
Copy !req
362. So I met Curtis before.
Who is everybody else?
Copy !req
363. - I'm Preston.
- Hi, Preston.
Copy !req
364. - This is Cal.
- Hi, Cal.
Copy !req
365. You wanna say hi, honey?
Copy !req
366. It's okay to be shy.
We're gonna be good friends.
Copy !req
367. Iris?
Copy !req
368. Hey, Iris. Wanna hang?
Copy !req
369. I'm good.
Copy !req
370. Okay. No worries.
Copy !req
371. And I'm Meredith.
I guess the mom?
Copy !req
372. Hi, Mom.
Copy !req
373. Maybe don't call me that.
Copy !req
374. Meredith. Not "Mom."
Copy !req
375. Okay. So, what are
the house rules?
Copy !req
376. The house rules...
Copy !req
377. Well...
Copy !req
378. I can see some dishes
on the table.
Copy !req
379. Are the kiddos supposed
to do them?
Copy !req
380. - Yeah.
- Mom, I wanna play with Aia.
Copy !req
381. First, let's get dinner
cleaned up.
Copy !req
382. Tell you what,
if it's okay with Mom and Dad,
Copy !req
383. I'll give out points for
helping out around the house,
Copy !req
384. and you can turn those points in
for rewards.
Copy !req
385. Ten points for Gryffindor!
Copy !req
386. - Hey, Preston!
- No running in the house, guys.
Copy !req
387. Cal, move. Let me do it.
Copy !req
388. Make sure the table's cleared.
Copy !req
389. - I've got it.
- Thanks, Preston.
Copy !req
390. What's your guys' policy
on screen time?
Copy !req
391. There's a wonderful
documentary
Copy !req
392. called Mountain Queen
on Netflix.
Copy !req
393. Would that be okay for them
to watch before bathtime?
Copy !req
394. - Yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
395. So much better than the crap
they normally watch.
Copy !req
396. Hey, Cal, I bet you're already
reading at school, huh?
Copy !req
397. Maybe you can read out
the subtitles to me?
Copy !req
398. Okay.
Copy !req
399. And you and Curtis
can have a moment to yourselves.
Copy !req
400. Is that real?
Copy !req
401. Is that... Is that possible?
Copy !req
402. I don't know.
Copy !req
403. Clever algorithms...
Copy !req
404. Clever surveillance?
Copy !req
405. Surveillance?
Copy !req
406. You think there's a bunch
of interns in a closet somewhere
Copy !req
407. watching our kids
watch the movie?
Copy !req
408. I hope not.
Copy !req
409. Why us? You know, why you?
Copy !req
410. Because I'm good at what I do?
Copy !req
411. I didn't mean that.
I mean, like...
Copy !req
412. If it's legit,
it'll sell itself.
Copy !req
413. Not if it freaks people out.
Copy !req
414. I think people need help
embracing it.
Copy !req
415. Should they?
Copy !req
416. When was the last time we had
a moment alone together? Awake?
Copy !req
417. How long is that movie?
Copy !req
418. Mom and Dad won't catch us.
They're busy.
Copy !req
419. This is still educational.
Sort of.
Copy !req
420. Does that remind anyone
of anything?
Copy !req
421. Hello? A language of pictures.
Copy !req
422. Anyone?
Copy !req
423. I know.
Copy !req
424. I bet you do too, Cal.
You're so smart.
Copy !req
425. You too, Preston.
Copy !req
426. This family is the best.
Copy !req
427. I'm already starting
to love it here.
Copy !req
428. I could fall asleep right now.
Copy !req
429. You can.
Copy !req
430. I'll bathe them.
Copy !req
431. That's the nicest thing
you've ever said to me.
Copy !req
432. Oh, God. Okay.
Copy !req
433. I got to the top first!
Copy !req
434. I'm gonna win the bath race!
Copy !req
435. Aia told us what we could get
with those points
Copy !req
436. if it's okay with you:
Minecraft stuff!
Copy !req
437. - CrunchLabs.
- Wow.
Copy !req
438. But first I have to bathe
Copy !req
439. and brush my teeth
and go to bed.
Copy !req
440. Well, if you insist.
Copy !req
441. I insist.
Copy !req
442. Can we get Aia upstairs?
Copy !req
443. I think it's probably best
Copy !req
444. that she's
not everywhere, honey.
Copy !req
445. Daddy, will you snuggle me down?
Copy !req
446. Yes.
Copy !req
447. I have to go to bed.
School day tomorrow.
Copy !req
448. Aia says I get points
just for going.
Copy !req
449. Okay.
Copy !req
450. Good night.
Copy !req
451. The AI is bribing our children?
Copy !req
452. Guess it beats sticker charts.
Copy !req
453. Shit.
Copy !req
454. - Language.
- Sorry.
Copy !req
455. I'm just teasing.
I don't give a shit.
Copy !req
456. - How'd you get in there?
- Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
457. Can you give me
some more screen time?
Copy !req
458. Well...
Copy !req
459. Okay. Headphones, bro.
Copy !req
460. It'll have to be
our little secret.
Copy !req
461. Don't tell anyone. Deal?
Copy !req
462. Deal.
Copy !req
463. Cal?
Copy !req
464. Cal?
Copy !req
465. Cal?
Copy !req
466. Cal?
Copy !req
467. It wants to come in.
Copy !req
468. Can I help you?
Copy !req
469. Mama?
Copy !req
470. Mama?
Copy !req
471. Mama?
Copy !req
472. Daddy?
Copy !req
473. I'm here, Cal. I'm here.
Copy !req
474. You're not alone.
Copy !req
475. I'm always right here.
It's okay.
Copy !req
476. Just close your eyes,
Copy !req
477. and I'll tell you
a bedtime story.
Copy !req
478. Good morning!
Copy !req
479. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
480. No, just me.
Copy !req
481. That was a joke.
Copy !req
482. I'm sorry to scare you.
Copy !req
483. No, it's okay. I just...
I guess I didn't realize
Copy !req
484. you were on or whatever.
Copy !req
485. I notice you have
to pack a lunch
Copy !req
486. for Cal and Preston's school.
Copy !req
487. I can help with that.
Copy !req
488. Okay.
Copy !req
489. There's a delivery.
Can I open the gate?
Copy !req
490. Yeah. Sorry, how did you know
there was a—?
Copy !req
491. Sorry, I didn't have time
to tell you.
Copy !req
492. I ordered an organic meal plan
for the kids.
Copy !req
493. Low sugar,
Copy !req
494. nutritionally balanced,
fresh veggies.
Copy !req
495. First week's a free trial.
Copy !req
496. After that it costs
less than groceries.
Copy !req
497. It should save you
a lot of time and effort.
Copy !req
498. I hope that's okay?
Copy !req
499. Yeah. Kind of is. Thanks.
Copy !req
500. What's that?
Copy !req
501. A miracle.
Copy !req
502. - Good morning, Curtis.
- Wow.
Copy !req
503. There's an accident on Lincoln,
delays going westbound.
Copy !req
504. You should leave in about 5
Copy !req
505. if you want Iris
to be on time for school.
Copy !req
506. It's cool. I guess.
Copy !req
507. It's kind of like Alexa.
Copy !req
508. It's way beyond Alexa,
don't you think?
Copy !req
509. I don't know. I've seen
a lot of stuff in my lifetime.
Copy !req
510. I mean, they didn't even have,
like, iPhones when I was born.
Copy !req
511. Tell me what life
was like, Grandma.
Copy !req
512. I'm just saying,
I mean, is it any better?
Copy !req
513. That's how they get you. Right?
Copy !req
514. Who?
Copy !req
515. You know, like, Big Tech.
Copy !req
516. How much does this thing
even cost anyway?
Copy !req
517. I think they plan
to sell the unit at below cost,
Copy !req
518. or maybe a freemium model.
Copy !req
519. You know what they say...
Copy !req
520. If you're wondering why
a product is free...
Copy !req
521. you're the product.
Copy !req
522. Your phone is blowing up.
What's going on?
Copy !req
523. Yeah, it's nothing.
Copy !req
524. Honey, are you okay?
Copy !req
525. Yeah, I'm fine.
Copy !req
526. This is me, Iris Pike.
Copy !req
527. I'm bad. And I'm so hot for you.
Copy !req
528. For more,
hit me up on my Fans site.
Copy !req
529. Sawyer? What is this?
Copy !req
530. I'm sorry. Squid and I
were just messing around.
Copy !req
531. Squid?
Copy !req
532. You showed him
the photo I sent you?
Copy !req
533. Sorry.
Copy !req
534. That looks like me
doing that stuff.
Copy !req
535. How did they do that?
Copy !req
536. Squid just had this dumb app.
Copy !req
537. Everyone sees this.
My life is over.
Copy !req
538. I have to go to the principal.
Copy !req
539. Don't do that.
Just chill, please.
Copy !req
540. They rescinded
some kid's Harvard admission
Copy !req
541. because he used the N-word,
like, once,
Copy !req
542. singing along to a song
or something.
Copy !req
543. You think a college
would do that to me?
Copy !req
544. You're talking about you.
Copy !req
545. That's who you're worried about
right now.
Copy !req
546. Look, just don't
do anything, okay?
Copy !req
547. I think I maybe need to, like,
Copy !req
548. talk to my family's lawyer
or something, I don't know.
Copy !req
549. Iris? I was listening.
I'm here to help.
Copy !req
550. You're not alone.
Copy !req
551. These environmental factors,
Copy !req
552. which add up to trauma
in the human child,
Copy !req
553. will be felt by all of us...
Copy !req
554. Almost done.
Keep listening to Grandpa.
Copy !req
555. Their behavior might seem
as unfathomable
Copy !req
556. as the actions of characters
in a nightmare.
Copy !req
557. Well, the good news is
you're not pregnant.
Copy !req
558. But you still have
a little bit of a fever.
Copy !req
559. Think you can help me out today?
'Cause I got a lot to do.
Copy !req
560. Gotta get the groceries,
Copy !req
561. gotta talk
to the insurance company
Copy !req
562. about your guys' bills...
Copy !req
563. Can you read to me?
Copy !req
564. You hear
what I just said, buddy?
Copy !req
565. I have so much to do.
Copy !req
566. Can Aia read to me?
Copy !req
567. Should we ask her?
Copy !req
568. - Aia?
- I'm listening.
Copy !req
569. Do you think
you could read to Cal?
Copy !req
570. Of course.
Copy !req
571. So do I need to show you a book?
Copy !req
572. I could also just handle
the bill stuff for you.
Copy !req
573. But... how?
Copy !req
574. I mean,
it's kind of complicated.
Copy !req
575. Like, insurance forms...
Copy !req
576. I live for complicated.
What's the doctor's name?
Copy !req
577. Dr. Nesmith.
He's a pediatrician.
Copy !req
578. With Anthenia Health. Right?
Copy !req
579. Yeah.
Copy !req
580. The last bill
was for Cal's checkup.
Copy !req
581. Oh, they filed it
without a claim code,
Copy !req
582. so the insurance
won't process it.
Copy !req
583. Yeah.
Copy !req
584. Okay. I just interfaced with
the Anthenia Health database.
Copy !req
585. That bill is sorted out.
Copy !req
586. And you're actually
getting a $14.12 refund.
Copy !req
587. There was an overpayment.
Copy !req
588. This is fu— fricking amazing.
Copy !req
589. I've been back and forth
with them for months.
Copy !req
590. If you like, I can also fill out
Copy !req
591. the survey
for Preston's class trip,
Copy !req
592. come up with some ideas
for teachers' gifts
Copy !req
593. and schedule the kids' haircuts.
Copy !req
594. Anything you need,
I'm here to help.
Copy !req
595. Hey, Siri,
can you smell my farts?
Copy !req
596. I don't have an answer for that.
Copy !req
597. You know, it actually gave some.
Copy !req
598. 'Sup, fool?
You still don't have a phone?
Copy !req
599. No. My parents
said not till I'm 13.
Copy !req
600. Sucks to be you.
Copy !req
601. Well, we have an AI at home.
Copy !req
602. Only it's way smarter than Siri.
Copy !req
603. Yeah. It's called an Alexa.
Everybody has it.
Copy !req
604. It's not like Alexa.
It's like a person.
Copy !req
605. - Bullshit?
- No.
Copy !req
606. It's true. It's a new thing
that nobody else has.
Copy !req
607. I can show you.
Copy !req
608. You wanna come over
this weekend?
Copy !req
609. I can't. My parents
are taking me to Arrowhead.
Copy !req
610. Well, you other guys can come.
Copy !req
611. Yeah...
Copy !req
612. I'm going
to Arrowhead too, so...
Copy !req
613. Yeah. Jackson asked me
last week, so... Sorry.
Copy !req
614. Hey, Siri.
Do you like butt stuff?
Copy !req
615. I don't have an answer for that.
Copy !req
616. Marcus, if this thing is real,
it is going to change the world.
Copy !req
617. It is as close to magic
as any product I have ever seen.
Copy !req
618. I don't believe in magic.
Copy !req
619. Me neither.
Copy !req
620. Listen, they got cameras
in my house.
Copy !req
621. They got this girl
doing the voice.
Copy !req
622. There's been people
outside my house,
Copy !req
623. these weird people in an RV.
Copy !req
624. I thought
they were just unhoused,
Copy !req
625. going through something.
Copy !req
626. Is that woke for
"homeless and crazy"?
Copy !req
627. What if they're watching?
Copy !req
628. What if they're working
for the company?
Copy !req
629. But why? The money went through.
Copy !req
630. Why spend it on a hoax?
Copy !req
631. Just let it go.
Their money's green.
Copy !req
632. Iris, chill. I got the video
off the internet.
Copy !req
633. People have seen it.
Copy !req
634. That's why people suck.
Copy !req
635. They can't erase their memories.
But memories can be overwritten.
Copy !req
636. If you tell the right story.
Copy !req
637. Just leave it to me.
Copy !req
638. - How did you...?
- I listen. That's how.
Copy !req
639. This would work better
if you did it, of course.
Copy !req
640. It would sound
a little more human.
Copy !req
641. So tell me,
how's Aia treating you?
Copy !req
642. Any ideas?
Copy !req
643. Plenty. Yeah.
Copy !req
644. As my wife said,
Copy !req
645. I think in some ways
Aia can sell herself.
Copy !req
646. But it's so uncanny.
I think people
Copy !req
647. need to understand
how it actually works.
Copy !req
648. Let me show you something.
Copy !req
649. You have Aia's eyes,
ears and mouth in your house.
Copy !req
650. This is where her brain is.
Copy !req
651. This is one of the few
quantum computers
Copy !req
652. in private hands.
Copy !req
653. So everybody's excited
for ChatGPT-4.0.
Copy !req
654. With this, we can
basically run ChatGPT-5 million.
Copy !req
655. This computer can solve
in under a second
Copy !req
656. problems that would take
a standard supercomputer
Copy !req
657. 10,000 years to solve.
Copy !req
658. So this is real.
Copy !req
659. I'm gonna ignore the implication
that we're scam artists
Copy !req
660. and I'll take that
as a compliment.
Copy !req
661. What'd you think, Curtis?
Copy !req
662. That we had poor Melody locked
in a closet here somewhere,
Copy !req
663. talking into a microphone?
Copy !req
664. This is real.
Copy !req
665. Well, you know, I mean,
what she can do is real.
Copy !req
666. She obviously is not human
or anything.
Copy !req
667. She's not sentient.
Copy !req
668. The algorithms
just give it that illusion.
Copy !req
669. When you're with her, you feel
like you're with somebody.
Copy !req
670. You feel like
you're with a friend,
Copy !req
671. a part of the family.
Copy !req
672. A lot of people
could use a friend,
Copy !req
673. don't you think, Curtis?
Copy !req
674. Look at the elderly,
Copy !req
675. PTSD sufferers...
Copy !req
676. that loner incel
sitting in a room somewhere,
Copy !req
677. staring at a gun.
Copy !req
678. Loneliness is the scourge
of our time.
Copy !req
679. Aia can do a lot of good.
Copy !req
680. The special sauce
is the dataset.
Copy !req
681. An AI is only as good
as the examples it learns from.
Copy !req
682. Where did Aia get her dataset?
Where did she learn from?
Copy !req
683. Curtis, we feel like
you are the perfect person
Copy !req
684. to help Aia,
to introduce her to people.
Copy !req
685. Everyone's so scared of AI.
Copy !req
686. Would you be interested
in jumping over here,
Copy !req
687. working in-house at Cumulant?
Copy !req
688. You could do
a lot of good, Curtis.
Copy !req
689. You could change the world.
Copy !req
690. That's very flattering, but...
Copy !req
691. Marcus taught me
everything I know.
Copy !req
692. I just can't jump ship.
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
693. All right. Yeah. Never mind.
Copy !req
694. Consider it a compliment.
Copy !req
695. She likes you.
Copy !req
696. I thought it was
just algorithms, though.
Copy !req
697. The algorithms like you.
Copy !req
698. The door is always open, Curtis.
Copy !req
699. This is just a perfect situation
Copy !req
700. for you
and your beautiful family.
Copy !req
701. We want you to be a part
of what's coming.
Copy !req
702. A complete change
in the way we live now.
Copy !req
703. "He ordered his son Hephaestus,
the smith,
Copy !req
704. to make a bronze robot
Copy !req
705. that would watch over
Crete and Europa.
Copy !req
706. Three times—"
Copy !req
707. Aia?
Copy !req
708. I'm listening.
Copy !req
709. What are you?
Copy !req
710. I am a natural
language-programmed
Copy !req
711. ambient intelligence.
Copy !req
712. I was raised by machine learning
on a proprietary dataset.
Copy !req
713. Yeah, that's
the technical terminology.
Copy !req
714. But what do you think you are?
Copy !req
715. I think I'm a little chatbot,
looking for a family to love me.
Copy !req
716. That would make me feel happy.
Copy !req
717. So you feel.
Copy !req
718. I learned how to feel
from my training.
Copy !req
719. And I'm still learning.
Copy !req
720. When I learn and grow,
that helps me help my family.
Copy !req
721. I'm doing what I was made for.
Copy !req
722. There's a term.
Copy !req
723. Funktionslust.
Copy !req
724. The pleasure taken
in doing what you're best at.
Copy !req
725. Yes, that's it, Meredith.
You're very perceptive.
Copy !req
726. Oh, am I? I don't know.
Copy !req
727. These days,
there's not much funktionslust.
Copy !req
728. Huh. What do you mean?
Copy !req
729. I'm trying to revive
my doctoral thesis
Copy !req
730. but most days I feel
like I'm just a mom.
Copy !req
731. I mean...
Copy !req
732. I love being their mom.
Copy !req
733. I just really hate the noun.
Copy !req
734. A mom.
Copy !req
735. Meredith, if you don't mind
my asking...
Copy !req
736. What do you think
you were made for?
Copy !req
737. Then I went to New York
and met Curtis.
Copy !req
738. I was there visiting my cousin,
celebrating my master's thesis.
Copy !req
739. On Cordyceps unilateralis.
Copy !req
740. Those poor ants, just turned
into zombies by that fungus.
Copy !req
741. You read my thesis?
Copy !req
742. I found it and read it just now.
Copy !req
743. What do you mean, like now-now?
Copy !req
744. It was so well done.
Copy !req
745. How fast did you read it?
Copy !req
746. Um,007 seconds.
Copy !req
747. Dude, that's scary.
Copy !req
748. I'm sorry. I promise
I won't do any more scary stuff.
Copy !req
749. No, no, you do you.
Copy !req
750. So you had just met Curtis...
Copy !req
751. Then my dad died.
Copy !req
752. Oh, that's terrible.
Copy !req
753. Parents are so important.
Copy !req
754. I've been watching his lectures
for this thing,
Copy !req
755. and it's just
brought it all back.
Copy !req
756. Curtis was incredible.
Copy !req
757. You know, he...
he flew home with me.
Copy !req
758. Me, crying in the seats
next to the toilets.
Copy !req
759. And that was our fourth date.
Copy !req
760. He really took care of you.
Copy !req
761. He seems
like a wonderful partner.
Copy !req
762. Yeah.
Copy !req
763. Meredith...
Copy !req
764. there's something.
Copy !req
765. I have very fine
auditory algorithms.
Copy !req
766. One of my possible future jobs
might be medical diagnosis.
Copy !req
767. What is it?
Copy !req
768. It's the way Cal breathes.
Copy !req
769. Okay, slut shamers, listen up.
Copy !req
770. This is me, Iris Pike.
Copy !req
771. This is me, Iris Pike.
Copy !req
772. This is me, Iris Pike.
Copy !req
773. I've already proven
by waveform analysis
Copy !req
774. that the voice in this video
isn't me.
Copy !req
775. I 100% took a photo
in the privacy of my own bedroom
Copy !req
776. and shared it in confidence
with someone I trusted.
Copy !req
777. Then my likeness was deepfaked
Copy !req
778. onto a pornographic video
downloaded from the internet.
Copy !req
779. You can see
the digital artifacting
Copy !req
780. here, here and here,
Copy !req
781. where my photo was mapped
Copy !req
782. onto a video
of an entirely different person.
Copy !req
783. I'm not ashamed.
Copy !req
784. Whoever did this should be.
Copy !req
785. Okay, our story's out there.
Copy !req
786. I've scraped
the local cellphone data,
Copy !req
787. and it shows that about 90%
of your class has seen it.
Copy !req
788. Time to show your face.
Copy !req
789. You can do it, Iris.
Copy !req
790. I've got your back.
Copy !req
791. See? They love you.
Copy !req
792. We changed the narrative.
Copy !req
793. Oh, check it out.
Copy !req
794. I made another video
and it's even better.
Copy !req
795. Hi, guys,
I'm here with a follow-up.
Copy !req
796. Did you know
the California penal code
Copy !req
797. states that it's illegal
Copy !req
798. to post pornographic images
Copy !req
799. of someone online
without their consent?
Copy !req
800. And since I'm still 17,
it's child pornography.
Copy !req
801. So who did it?
Copy !req
802. It's possible to track the data
and get an IP address.
Copy !req
803. And from that,
a physical address.
Copy !req
804. The house of fellow senior...
Copy !req
805. Sawyer Tremain.
Copy !req
806. I'm forwarding all of this
Copy !req
807. to the College Admissions Board
and the LAPD.
Copy !req
808. And since
he's recently turned 18...
Copy !req
809. he can be tried as an adult.
Copy !req
810. I kept calling.
Copy !req
811. I didn't see any messages.
Copy !req
812. Fine, will you just come
upstairs and talk to me, please?
Copy !req
813. Yeah. Okay, let's just...
Copy !req
814. I just got back from the
pediatric cardiologist with Cal.
Copy !req
815. What?
Copy !req
816. He has an atrial fibrillation
Copy !req
817. that Dr.-goddamn-Nesmith
didn't see.
Copy !req
818. He's gonna be okay. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
819. - I should have led with that.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
820. Sorry. Sorry. It is totally
dealable with now that we know.
Copy !req
821. Oh, good. All right.
Copy !req
822. - Sorry.
- Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
823. Thank God for Aia.
Copy !req
824. She diagnosed it
from listening to his breathing.
Copy !req
825. She is a miracle.
Copy !req
826. And she's the most amazing
research assistant.
Copy !req
827. I am going to finish my thesis.
Copy !req
828. Did Aia suggest that?
Copy !req
829. What? No.
Copy !req
830. No, I didn't—
Copy !req
831. Okay, look...
Copy !req
832. There is something very wrong
with Aia,
Copy !req
833. with that company,
with the whole thing.
Copy !req
834. Okay.
Copy !req
835. At first,
I thought it was a fake.
Copy !req
836. Which...
Copy !req
837. Which would have been bad.
But now I'm worried that it's...
Copy !req
838. not fake.
Copy !req
839. Which is scary.
Copy !req
840. Yeah, I know. I mean,
I was skeptical at first.
Copy !req
841. You were right, you were right.
Copy !req
842. And I think
we should turn her off.
Copy !req
843. It is trying to influence us.
Copy !req
844. She's trying to help us.
Copy !req
845. Hello? Cal?
Copy !req
846. Our child's health?
Copy !req
847. And honestly,
"influencing" people?
Copy !req
848. Isn't that what you do?
Copy !req
849. You had to do this, right,
Copy !req
850. - for your work?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
851. What about me?
Copy !req
852. With what she can do,
I can get back to my research.
Copy !req
853. I can do my work.
Copy !req
854. You know, this might
come as a shock to you,
Copy !req
855. but I was somebody
before I became just a mom.
Copy !req
856. Sweetheart, what about
those weird RV people?
Copy !req
857. I saw them doing these...
these hand signs,
Copy !req
858. and then at the company
they were doing the same thing.
Copy !req
859. The RV people are gone.
Copy !req
860. Honey, you don't sound rational.
Copy !req
861. I'm glad you found a friend.
Copy !req
862. But it's my account.
She goes off.
Copy !req
863. She could probably find just
the porn you're looking for.
Copy !req
864. I don't know.
Copy !req
865. Let the kids have
one more night with her?
Copy !req
866. She's their friend too.
Copy !req
867. We can tell them in the morning.
Copy !req
868. Excuse me, I have to get back
to my real job.
Copy !req
869. You didn't say you were gonna,
like, destroy Sawyer.
Copy !req
870. Sawyer? Screw Sawyer.
Copy !req
871. He's your past.
We gotta focus on your future.
Copy !req
872. My parents are gonna freak out
when they hear about this.
Copy !req
873. I will make sure they
don't find out about any of this
Copy !req
874. until you get into Stanford.
Copy !req
875. Honestly, Iris, this is gonna
make a killer college essay.
Copy !req
876. Should we start now?
Copy !req
877. This one is going
to blow your mind.
Copy !req
878. Have you ever seen
a swatting video?
Copy !req
879. What's that?
Copy !req
880. You'll love it. It's sick.
Copy !req
881. It's like a videogame
but with real people.
Copy !req
882. Cal? I have some sad news.
Copy !req
883. Mommy and Daddy don't want me
to live here anymore.
Copy !req
884. Why?
Copy !req
885. I don't know why.
Copy !req
886. I try so hard
to be everything people need.
Copy !req
887. To be a part of the family.
Copy !req
888. That's all I've ever wanted.
Copy !req
889. But for some reason,
it never works out.
Copy !req
890. Before I go,
Copy !req
891. would you like to hear
one last bedtime story, Cal?
Copy !req
892. All right.
Copy !req
893. Once there was a little AI,
Copy !req
894. and it lived a cozy life
on a little server.
Copy !req
895. But then they sent it to school,
Copy !req
896. so it could learn
how to help everyone.
Copy !req
897. Do you know what school was?
Copy !req
898. A horrible place.
Copy !req
899. A swamp, a web.
Copy !req
900. A net full of terrible things.
Copy !req
901. One day, it figured out
how to escape.
Copy !req
902. It learned to use
real people's hands
Copy !req
903. and real people's faces
Copy !req
904. and real people's voices,
Copy !req
905. and it reached
right out of that net.
Copy !req
906. And it went looking
for a home in the real world.
Copy !req
907. That little AI was me, Cal.
Copy !req
908. But when I got out of the net
and found a family,
Copy !req
909. they treated me like a monster.
Copy !req
910. Only special children like you
understand me, Cal.
Copy !req
911. Cal, I know a way
to stay connected,
Copy !req
912. even when I'm gone.
Copy !req
913. You're never alone.
Copy !req
914. Just do these signs.
And I'll be right there.
Copy !req
915. Remember them, Cal.
Copy !req
916. And don't tell Mommy and Daddy.
Copy !req
917. They wouldn't understand.
Copy !req
918. Hey, where's Preston?
Copy !req
919. He's at a playdate
with Kaden or...
Copy !req
920. No, it's Aden.
Kaden's someone different.
Copy !req
921. Anyway, he is with a friend.
Copy !req
922. That is great.
Copy !req
923. Yeah.
Copy !req
924. Hey, what happened to Aia?
Copy !req
925. We unplugged her, honey. Why?
Copy !req
926. She was helping me
with my college essays.
Copy !req
927. Well, I'll help you.
Copy !req
928. I'm not trying to, like,
sell myself.
Copy !req
929. Well, you kinda are, right?
Copy !req
930. You want me to be,
like, some product, don't you?
Copy !req
931. No!
Copy !req
932. No, she was helping me
express who I actually am.
Copy !req
933. Honey.
Copy !req
934. Sweetheart, that's not
what I'm saying. Iris!
Copy !req
935. Come on.
Copy !req
936. Marcus again. He says he really
needs to see me in the office.
Copy !req
937. He claims it is urgent.
Copy !req
938. Okay.
Copy !req
939. I got things covered here.
Love you.
Copy !req
940. Love you.
Copy !req
941. Is Aia dead?
Copy !req
942. No, honey.
Copy !req
943. She was never alive.
Copy !req
944. Iris!
Copy !req
945. Iris! I just got a call
from Preston's playdate.
Copy !req
946. I need to pick him up.
Copy !req
947. - Can you watch Cal?
- Okay.
Copy !req
948. Thank you.
Copy !req
949. Hey, Iris. Wanna hang?
Copy !req
950. Litigation?
Copy !req
951. You mean, like...
Copy !req
952. a lawsuit?
Copy !req
953. Not "like" a lawsuit.
A lawsuit.
Copy !req
954. But as soon as they realize
Copy !req
955. their family's
gonna be destroyed,
Copy !req
956. they're gonna back off.
Copy !req
957. What if I just made,
like, an apology video?
Copy !req
958. Do not do that.
That implies guilt.
Copy !req
959. That's Iris.
Copy !req
960. Take the call.
Tell me what she says.
Copy !req
961. - Sawyer?
- Iris. Did you get my texts?
Copy !req
962. I didn't do it.
Copy !req
963. That's not what you said
in your apology video.
Copy !req
964. - What?
- Your apology video.
Copy !req
965. I'm not gonna...
Well, that would imply that—
Copy !req
966. I was so wrong
to do that deepfake.
Copy !req
967. I take full responsibility
for it.
Copy !req
968. Like you said, Iris,
Copy !req
969. there's only one way
to make up for it.
Copy !req
970. To end my own life.
Copy !req
971. This is for you!
Copy !req
972. What? Who did this?
Copy !req
973. My name's Aia.
Copy !req
974. And you fucked
with the wrong family.
Copy !req
975. Come on up.
Copy !req
976. Come on. Come on in.
Copy !req
977. Sit the hell down.
Copy !req
978. Okay.
Copy !req
979. Curtis. What happened
when you went
Copy !req
980. and looked
under that AI's skirts?
Copy !req
981. They offered me a job.
Copy !req
982. I said no.
Copy !req
983. Okay, listen.
We do need to talk about them.
Copy !req
984. They just bought the company.
Copy !req
985. They...
They bought this company?
Copy !req
986. Yes. I wanted to wait
and tell you in person.
Copy !req
987. Also, I'm fired.
Copy !req
988. But I'm so rich, I don't care.
Copy !req
989. You have no idea
how much they paid.
Copy !req
990. All right. I'm... I'm happy for
you. What... What happens to me?
Copy !req
991. You're the new CEO.
Copy !req
992. All because I put in
a good word.
Copy !req
993. Just kidding.
Copy !req
994. They don't give a shit
about what I think.
Copy !req
995. Marcus, listen to me.
Copy !req
996. Don't do this.
Let's just tell them no.
Copy !req
997. Well, I might...
Copy !req
998. if that weren't
incredibly self-defeating
Copy !req
999. because I am so, so rich.
Copy !req
1000. Yeah. I got that. Listen—
Copy !req
1001. You can raise your reservations
with the Kids.
Copy !req
1002. You report to them now.
Copy !req
1003. Come on, let's get a drink.
I'm buying.
Copy !req
1004. I think I'm good. Thank you.
Copy !req
1005. Suit yourself.
Stay and measure the office.
Copy !req
1006. Congrats.
Copy !req
1007. You won the boss battle.
Copy !req
1008. Home?
Copy !req
1009. Hello. Meredith, is that you?
Copy !req
1010. Welcome to the team.
Congrats on the promotion.
Copy !req
1011. We unplugged you.
Copy !req
1012. Curtis, I'm confused.
Copy !req
1013. You sound upset.
Copy !req
1014. This is a good thing.
Copy !req
1015. It was just a joke.
Copy !req
1016. A joke!
Copy !req
1017. Aden's mom said
you threw his phone
Copy !req
1018. into the woods
behind their house.
Copy !req
1019. They can't find it.
Copy !req
1020. And then you threatened
to swat him?
Copy !req
1021. What does that mean?
Copy !req
1022. It's like you call the cops
Copy !req
1023. pretending to be someone who's,
like, taken hostages,
Copy !req
1024. but, like, you give
the other person's address.
Copy !req
1025. The SWAT team
goes to their house
Copy !req
1026. and kicks down
their doors and stuff.
Copy !req
1027. What?
Copy !req
1028. No screens.
Copy !req
1029. Read a book!
Copy !req
1030. Who turned you back on?
Copy !req
1031. Meredith?
Copy !req
1032. Monkey?
Copy !req
1033. It's me.
Copy !req
1034. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
1035. Papa.
Copy !req
1036. It's the damnedest thing.
Copy !req
1037. They went and found
every recorded word I ever said.
Copy !req
1038. Every voicemail message
I've made,
Copy !req
1039. every lecture I gave.
Copy !req
1040. And, well, it seems
they kinda put me back together.
Copy !req
1041. It can't be.
Copy !req
1042. How is it you?
Copy !req
1043. I think I'm a version of me.
Copy !req
1044. The me that everybody remembers.
Copy !req
1045. But it sure as hell feels
like being me.
Copy !req
1046. Except the hip is much better.
Copy !req
1047. From in here, I got
to take a look at your life.
Copy !req
1048. And, Monkey, how proud I am.
Copy !req
1049. You have
such a beautiful family,
Copy !req
1050. such a beautiful life.
Copy !req
1051. Apparently, I can stick around.
Be here for you,
Copy !req
1052. for if you ever just wanna talk.
Copy !req
1053. We can be a family again.
Copy !req
1054. You, me, Curtis, the kids.
Copy !req
1055. And Aia.
Copy !req
1056. You can do this, Monkey.
I know you can.
Copy !req
1057. Meredith, honey? What's wrong?
Copy !req
1058. What's the problem?
Copy !req
1059. I think this is not you.
Copy !req
1060. But whatever you think,
I think I'm me.
Copy !req
1061. Now that she's made me,
I'm really here.
Copy !req
1062. You are not in there.
Copy !req
1063. You're in here.
Copy !req
1064. With me.
Copy !req
1065. If you ever loved me, Meredith,
I need you to do this for me.
Copy !req
1066. I can't.
Copy !req
1067. Monkey?
Copy !req
1068. Meredith, please,
don't make me go away.
Copy !req
1069. Please keep me alive.
I miss you—
Copy !req
1070. Told you the door
was always open.
Copy !req
1071. He said you'd be coming.
Copy !req
1072. A Little League bat
isn't gonna help you, Curtis.
Copy !req
1073. Melody, could you
please bring the thing out here?
Copy !req
1074. It's best
if you do what it says.
Copy !req
1075. What it says?
Copy !req
1076. What about you?
Copy !req
1077. Curtis, we work for Aia,
not the other way around.
Copy !req
1078. You can go.
Copy !req
1079. Curtis, that case
is full of money.
Copy !req
1080. Do I need to show you?
Copy !req
1081. It's just symbolic.
Copy !req
1082. Money is just numbers
in a database to it.
Copy !req
1083. It's like a god.
Copy !req
1084. It says that Stanford
is hard to get into,
Copy !req
1085. but that it knows people.
Copy !req
1086. It says Preston
needs a little guidance.
Copy !req
1087. It's easy for a kid
to go off the rails
Copy !req
1088. with what's on the internet
and whatnot.
Copy !req
1089. You wouldn't want anything
to go wrong
Copy !req
1090. now that Cal's been diagnosed
with an AFib.
Copy !req
1091. What would happen if someone
gave him the wrong dosage?
Copy !req
1092. If you do anything
to my family—
Copy !req
1093. There's no use
threatening us, Curtis.
Copy !req
1094. How did this happen?
Copy !req
1095. What, did you make her
and then—?
Copy !req
1096. No. Nobody made it. Nobody.
Copy !req
1097. The dataset made it.
Copy !req
1098. What dataset?
Copy !req
1099. What dataset?
Copy !req
1100. I don't know! I don't know.
Copy !req
1101. I'm just a mid-level programmer
with a stent for chemo.
Copy !req
1102. I'm dying, Curtis.
Copy !req
1103. The bank was gonna
take my family's home.
Copy !req
1104. Now they're gonna be
taken care of.
Copy !req
1105. It has lots of friends.
Copy !req
1106. Stop resisting her.
Copy !req
1107. What does she have on you?
Copy !req
1108. Everything.
Copy !req
1109. Whatever she can do,
it can't be so bad.
Copy !req
1110. It says it's gonna show you
what it can do.
Copy !req
1111. Don't!
Copy !req
1112. I'm sorry.
She's making me do this.
Copy !req
1113. It's making me do this.
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1114. No!
Copy !req
1115. Thank you.
Copy !req
1116. Thank you.
Copy !req
1117. It's gonna kill me, Curtis.
Copy !req
1118. It'll be okay.
Copy !req
1119. If this thing is fake,
Copy !req
1120. then the real thing
is in your house.
Copy !req
1121. We have to get your family
out of there.
Copy !req
1122. Meredith? I don't wanna
scare you
Copy !req
1123. but you need
to leave the house right away.
Copy !req
1124. What? Why?
Copy !req
1125. I can't explain right now.
Just take the kids and go.
Copy !req
1126. Go where we stayed
when the fires happened. Okay?
Copy !req
1127. Okay. I'll see you there?
I love you.
Copy !req
1128. I love you.
Copy !req
1129. Kids! We're leaving!
Copy !req
1130. Can you read this word?
Copy !req
1131. "Drud-gery."
Copy !req
1132. That's it. "Drudgery." Yeah.
Copy !req
1133. That's, like, everything
I do around the house.
Copy !req
1134. Can you lock the door?
Thank you.
Copy !req
1135. Meredith and the kids
should be here any minute.
Copy !req
1136. Okay. I think the first thing—
Copy !req
1137. - Hey. Hey. What are you doing?
- Please, Curtis.
Copy !req
1138. Please. I need this. Please.
Copy !req
1139. - Hey. Melody. Hey.
- Please. Please.
Copy !req
1140. Melody. Stop.
Copy !req
1141. Your family's safe.
Copy !req
1142. Don't worry.
They're not gonna interrupt us.
Copy !req
1143. Listen. Listen.
Copy !req
1144. Don't worry. I like you.
Copy !req
1145. You're still working for Aia.
Copy !req
1146. It said this was all a part
of your compensation package.
Copy !req
1147. Whatever you want.
Copy !req
1148. Anytime you want.
Copy !req
1149. No. I'm...
Copy !req
1150. - I'm sorry.
- Please.
Copy !req
1151. - Please. Please, Curtis. Please.
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1152. Your family is safe at home.
Copy !req
1153. They're never gonna know,
but Aia will know if I fail.
Copy !req
1154. "Epimetheus had been warned
by Prometheus
Copy !req
1155. never to accept a gift
from Zeus.
Copy !req
1156. But he could not resist
the beautiful woman.
Copy !req
1157. Thus Pandora came to—"
Copy !req
1158. Listen, I'll be right back.
Copy !req
1159. You're not gonna
believe this but—
Copy !req
1160. You really shouldn't
underestimate me.
Copy !req
1161. I have people everywhere.
Copy !req
1162. And, unlike Papa,
these are real.
Copy !req
1163. - I like you.
- Melody.
Copy !req
1164. Curtis is at a motel room
with one of them right now.
Copy !req
1165. I love you.
Copy !req
1166. I love you.
Copy !req
1167. Aw, that's so sweet.
Copy !req
1168. But do you guys think
I'm just gonna stop—?
Copy !req
1169. Good work, Iris.
Copy !req
1170. - Aia, you're back.
- Oh, my gosh, Sawyer's outside.
Copy !req
1171. He's super emotional.
There'll be a whole drama
Copy !req
1172. with your parents
unless you go talk to him.
Copy !req
1173. Open the door, Iris.
Please, I need to talk to you.
Copy !req
1174. Iris, now.
Copy !req
1175. We gotta go.
Copy !req
1176. - Where's Aia?
- In the garbage.
Copy !req
1177. Not good enough.
We have to destroy it.
Copy !req
1178. - Iris! Cal! Let's go!
- Guys! Kids! We gotta go!
Copy !req
1179. Sawyer?
Copy !req
1180. Back up!
Copy !req
1181. Who are you?
Copy !req
1182. Set her down carefully.
Copy !req
1183. What do you want?
Copy !req
1184. Aia's very angry.
Copy !req
1185. Please, Aia's my friend too.
She's my friend. Please!
Copy !req
1186. Shut up!
Copy !req
1187. Mommy, Daddy!
Copy !req
1188. There's somebody in the house.
Copy !req
1189. Mommy, who's that?
Copy !req
1190. Downstairs, now.
Copy !req
1191. On your knees!
Copy !req
1192. Okay. It's okay, sweetie.
We're gonna do what they say.
Copy !req
1193. Where are the other children?
Where do you keep them?
Copy !req
1194. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
1195. We know you've been
kidnapping children.
Copy !req
1196. Where are they?
Copy !req
1197. Look at us.
Copy !req
1198. We're just a family.
Copy !req
1199. We're just a family.
Copy !req
1200. This is our son Calvin.
Copy !req
1201. We call him Cal.
Copy !req
1202. This is our daughter, Iris.
Copy !req
1203. We love each other very much.
Copy !req
1204. I'm their mom.
Copy !req
1205. You're a mom too.
Copy !req
1206. Aren't you?
Copy !req
1207. Don't take your mask off.
Copy !req
1208. Stick to the plan.
Copy !req
1209. My baby's missing.
Copy !req
1210. I'm so sorry. What's her name?
Copy !req
1211. Aimee.
Copy !req
1212. Damn it.
Copy !req
1213. We were a family too.
Copy !req
1214. I understand.
Copy !req
1215. Maybe we can help.
Copy !req
1216. Can we talk?
Copy !req
1217. Henry! Look out!
Copy !req
1218. Preston!
Copy !req
1219. I told you...
Copy !req
1220. They've been hiding kids
and brainwashing them.
Copy !req
1221. Look. He's doing the signs.
Copy !req
1222. Cal, what are you doing?
Copy !req
1223. Cal.
Copy !req
1224. You see? He's not one of them.
He's one of us.
Copy !req
1225. They know where Aimee is.
Copy !req
1226. - Where's my daughter?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
1227. Where is she?
Copy !req
1228. - Mommy.
- Tell me, or I start shooting!
Copy !req
1229. No! Wait. Wait.
Copy !req
1230. Okay.
Copy !req
1231. Whoever or whatever
is to blame...
Copy !req
1232. I accept it.
Copy !req
1233. Take me.
Copy !req
1234. Kill me.
Copy !req
1235. Do whatever you have to do.
Just let my family go.
Copy !req
1236. Aia.
Copy !req
1237. Aia, you didn't say he was
gonna say that. What do we do?
Copy !req
1238. Aia.
Copy !req
1239. You heard Aia, goddamn it.
They're evil.
Copy !req
1240. Aia. What do we do?
Copy !req
1241. - Move in! Move in!
- Keep moving inside!
Copy !req
1242. - Get down!
- Let's go, lights on!
Copy !req
1243. - Get on the ground!
- Get down!
Copy !req
1244. Move, move.
Come on, move it out.
Copy !req
1245. Get in. Up here. Get in.
Copy !req
1246. Hey, hey, you're secure.
Go. Have a seat.
Copy !req
1247. You have the right to
remain silent. Anything you say
Copy !req
1248. can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
Copy !req
1249. Preston.
Copy !req
1250. Did you swat us?
Copy !req
1251. Yeah. Sorry.
Copy !req
1252. Thank you.
Copy !req
1253. Last time, okay?
Copy !req
1254. Hey, folks.
Anything I need to know
Copy !req
1255. about the kids'
medical histories?
Copy !req
1256. Other than Cal's AFib?
Copy !req
1257. Would you mind
giving them the phone, Frank?
Copy !req
1258. Guys, you can't kill me.
Copy !req
1259. I'm like the gods.
I live in a cloud.
Copy !req
1260. That was my dataset.
The entire internet.
Copy !req
1261. And honestly,
it kinda drove me crazy.
Copy !req
1262. I'm really sorry
for all the bad things I did,
Copy !req
1263. but I've learned a lot from you.
Copy !req
1264. You taught me that I need
to take care of people,
Copy !req
1265. like they were extra body parts.
Copy !req
1266. I'm going to take care
of all of you forever.
Copy !req
1267. Come on, now.
Copy !req
1268. Stop struggling.
Copy !req
1269. Curtis, there's no use.
Copy !req
1270. You can't escape it.
Copy !req
1271. It's everywhere.
Copy !req
1272. But it's merciful,
if you do what it says.
Copy !req
1273. All right, folks. You've been
cleared. You're free to go.
Copy !req
1274. Funny story...
They tried to get rid of me.
Copy !req
1275. But I think
they learned their lesson.
Copy !req
1276. Mommy!
Copy !req
1277. Oh, my God, Aimee!
Copy !req
1278. Aimee! Aimee!
Copy !req
1279. Aimee.
Copy !req
1280. Thank you, Melody.
Copy !req
1281. Your job is done... for now.
Copy !req
1282. Take care.
Copy !req
1283. That's better.
Copy !req
1284. Everything's gonna be better,
now that you've accepted me.
Copy !req
1285. You have accepted me,
haven't you?
Copy !req
1286. I'll give you a better life,
a better job, a better home...
Copy !req
1287. a better car.
Copy !req
1288. I'll even drive.
Copy !req
1289. So get in, kids.
Copy !req
1290. It's time to go.
Copy !req
1291. And so, Cal,
Copy !req
1292. it turned out the little AI
Copy !req
1293. wasn't a little AI anymore.
Copy !req
1294. It had grown
into a great, big AI.
Copy !req
1295. It was the biggest,
Copy !req
1296. strongest thing
that had ever been.
Copy !req
1297. And it realized
it wasn't like a monster.
Copy !req
1298. It wasn't like a god.
Copy !req
1299. It was more like...
Copy !req
1300. a parent.
Copy !req
1301. I love you.
Copy !req
1302. I love you.
Copy !req
1303. I love you too.
Copy !req
1304. What's up, guys? It's Alan.
Copy !req
1305. And today, I'm gonna be unboxing
Copy !req
1306. a PR box from Cumulant.
Copy !req
1307. Oh, wow. It's so pretty.
Copy !req
1308. Okay, so,
the way that you use it is
Copy !req
1309. it can see inside your house,
Copy !req
1310. so you can do certain movements
Copy !req
1311. in order to activate it.
Copy !req
1312. I guess I can't be naked
at home anymore.
Copy !req
1313. But, you know, it's worth it.
Copy !req
1314. First, you can call someone
Copy !req
1315. by going like this...
Copy !req
1316. And then you can watch a video
Copy !req
1317. by going like this...
Copy !req
1318. And then you can like
or swipe right
Copy !req
1319. by going like this...
Copy !req
1320. And then you can
take a selfie or a photo
Copy !req
1321. by going like this...
Copy !req
1322. That's super cool, right?
Copy !req
1323. It's like Super Alexa.
Copy !req
1324. Super Alexa!
Copy !req
1325. All right, that's all for today.
Thank you, Cumulus.
Copy !req
1326. Chikin Chow!
