Tonight’s “Pluribus” (Carol’s part anyway) speaks to the self-centered nihilist callousness that the lockdown era fostered. (That behavior never left and even got worse, so the ep resonates.)

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

I don’t usually watch documentaries more than once with a few very major exceptions (“Grey Gardens,” “The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces, stuff that’s a notable example of the form or does something smart and unique). But I really REALLY don’t watch trauma porn docs more than once, if at all.
