I'll be disappointed if PoI doesn't end with a full-scale singularity.

Btw Finch referred to the Machine and Samaritan as ASIs. What is that? Artificial Sentient Intelligences?

Artificial Super Intelligence, I think? The distinction being that they're basically omniscient in addition to being sentient.

Yeah, but also I believe the other distinction is an AI we could possibly understand. ASIs are so smart that people can't possibly even pretend to comprehend their inner workings.

This. It's pretty much impossible to build a theory of mind for something significantly smarter than you, and both the Machine and Samaritan are capable of analyzing immense amounts of data and extrapolating highly accurate predictions of the future, which implies a level of intelligence as far beyond human as a human is beyond an insect. They're still limited to the extent that they can't know things they don't have any data about, but since Samaritan continues to expand its reach into both the physical and electronic worlds, fairly soon it will possess a limited form of omniscience.

Hope you guys brought the big popcorn bags because THIS WEEK'S *3* EPISODES: A More Perfect Union/QSO/ReassortmentMonday Synopsis:The Machine sends Reese and Finch to a wedding to protect a pair of POIs before their nuptials. Also, Fusco becomes angry at being kept in the dark by the team and takes it upon himself to investigate a string of missing person reports. Tuesday Synopsis 1:Root goes undercover at a radio station to protect the host of a conspiracy theory show who stumbles upon information that could get him killed. Also, Samaritan’s agents try to convince a member of the team that their goals are noble. Tuesday Synopsis 2:Reese and Finch become trapped in a hospital that becomes ground zero for a deadly viral outbreak. Also, Samaritan’s newest recruit has second thoughts and Shaw continues to struggle with reality. Monday Preview Feel free to come livewatch with us in the TVIV IRC Channel! They are bound to get mad at how much poi there is this week. Here's the deal with the airdates, folks: Monday's Ep: 9pm EST on CTV/10pm EST on CBS Tuesday's Eps: 8pm Atlantic, then a break for the flash finale, then 10pm on CTV Halifax/9pm-10pm EST on both regular CTV and CBS. As with every year, my fellow Canadians getting the Maritime airing early please refrain posting spoilers until the east coast airing at 10pm EST concludes. I understand this week among all of them will probably be the biggest spoiler clusterfuck so please unless you are liveposting just tag all posts until the US airing of both eps concludes on Tuesday.

Yeah, pretty good so far. Bear/Fusco, Root at a wedding as a running gag, Harold singing Twisted Sister in the worst brogue ever put on film. I can't wait to see how they top this. Edit: Oh, like that. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 02:43 on May 24, 2016 |

I had a feeling that's what was going on (AGAIN) but I was invested in the fantastic A plot so I didn't care. So are we through with all this ~*~it was all a dreeeeaaaam~*~ poo poo with Shaw yet because it's getting kinda old now.

The only reason Samaritan would go this route is that it's giving up on the other one. It's not going to be able to long con Shaw into turning in her friends inadvertently. That's why it decided to instead go for the tactic of getting her to turn on them voluntarily. I really liked how Finch talking to Root kind of non-explicitly outlined the fault in Greer/Samaritan's argument. Namely their confidence that with their power also comes and implicit moral certainty that the decisions they make will always be the right ones.
