Shouldn't it be Nucleus since they are Hooli?

[–] uuj8za@piefed.social 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, it should be Nucleus. Them calling it PiedPiper is a propaganda campaign to try to earn good will from people. Fuck Google locking down Android.

Does their CEO have a signature that looks like a penis?

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Almost guaranteed.

No, that is what it would be if we were using traditional, deterministic compression and using a reversible and verifiable mapping of data. But this is the new era of memetic compression, "Pied Piper" is what everyone remembers from the show, so we compress it to "Pied Piper" to minimize the amount of memetic overhead and allow the smallest possible compression artifact. Like with "AI", it doesn't need to be correct, just close enough for people to think it is! /s

Sure but didn’t the plot line with Nucleus come in a later season?

Secondly, I am pretty certain the Google logo was always in the opening credits.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It begins in the first season.

I miss the thinking of the Moonshots whatever those were called.
