AI Training. Episode 6 Revelations

Published May 31, 2018 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hey Guys,

Having listened to the deep drive, I’m a little surprised – there were a couple of seemingly obvious pieces falling into place in the last episode:

Bernard / Delores interview: nice bait and switch with the way the scene planned out. It was clear to me that Delores was being used to further train / programme Bernard.

Arnold got the hosts to a certain level >
Arnold called quits on the project as he was worried about the potential / moral implications, so committed suicide by robot to try and get a halt to the whole process >

Ford ignored Arnold’s intentions, and piggy-backed on his work. He couldn’t have got to Bernard-level on his own, so now uses the AI (Delores) to accelerate the process. (I’ve read a little on AI theory and this seems to tie together).

I missed the aspect-ratio change, suggesting this is in the Cradle VR reality. This still holds – there’s no need for their physical representations. Think of it like a statistical model training itself. This could be done thousands of times in this Cradle reality, and take very little time in the really world.

Hope this makes sense. I love how this season appears to be coming together after starting so disparate. Thanks!
