#and how he thinks

[nico-the-overlord]

Ok I am just so curious as to how Caine’s ai software or programming works (or what sort of content he was trained on anyways) because

On stories where high-stakes stuff happens? Action esc stories? I find it interesting for this “game” setting Caine is always choosing these highly stressful adventures because he wants to capture the circus members attention and hearts, an audience (which I know in a meta way is us the viewer but that’s not the point of this post) but like it just does not work towards his goal of making the members happy and he keeps sticking to what he knows or think he knows will make them happy- he tries to take in suggestions and then is like oh shit:

I’M not working, what I know isn’t true. Nope. Time to think about what more to do.

And I also like this theme of self-worth issues that keep coming up

Caine is NOT like him but I wonder if he was trained in a similar way to psychopathic ai bot researchers trained on Reddit content (as in, just fed a certain type of content which makes him keep going back to certain adventures and it’s making him bias to what he think the circus members want vs what they actually want)

Very much an ai vs human situation, assumed wants vs actual wants and needs

And tangentially related I wonder if the turning point is gonna be Caine getting so genuinely frustrated with the circus members he ends up getting violent/mean in a dangerous way (kinda hinted at in ep.4 with Jax and Zooble conversing about Caine)

I honestly do just presume everyone in the world has watched naruto I just can't comprehend a person that hasn't witnessed rock Lee take off his training weights or seen naruto sit sadly on a swing 50 times so when I see someone say they've never seen naruto I just don't believe them they have definitely watched naruto it is a universal life step

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

anyone else thinking about effie spending 24 years watching haymitch completely fall apart. effie, who met haymitch by accident, who knows exactly what kind of person he is, who sees him every year on his birthday for 24 years and each year he’s drunker, each year he’s angrier, each year he’s faster to give up. and then they get katniss and peeta. peeta, who is kind and open and understanding, who refuses to give up on haymitch. and katniss, who is so much like haymitch at 16 that it hurts. and over the few days they’re together, effie watches haymitch come back to life. watches him try. watches him have hope. and then they get to keep not one but both of those kids. they get to come home. and then, less then a year later, effie pulls haymitch’s name at the reaping.
