OMGOMGOMG THAT WAS INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

no sorry

Ok i had this theory so imma copy and paste it here


SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 8: "Creativity & Action Theory"

too long, don't wanna read: C&A were developing two types of AIs, Creativity AIs, and Action AIs. Caine is a fusion of both types of AI, and as a result, is fundamentally incapable of functioning in a normal way.

PART 0: What Do I Even Mean When I Say These Things
Creativity AI: An AI designed to generate comprehensive creative outputs.
Action AI: An AI designed to make solutions to problems

PART 1.1: Evidence Stuff for Creativity
At 19:18 in Episode 8, Kinger says "Specifically, creative AI. The kind that could come up with its own ideas." This effectively spells it out: C&A were developing Creativity focused AIs. But what about Action focused AI's?

PART 1.2: Evidence Stuff for Action
We'll need to look back on Episode 7 for this. Remember how Episode 7's Adventure was just a highly embellished version of the actual C&A events? (There was an actual C&A company, There were multiple C&A employees hooked up to the circus, etc...) I think Abel, the NPC, is a highly embellished version of an actual AI called Abel, and Abel was the Action AI. I think this because Abel, the NPC, was a good planner, they set events into motion for the players, exactly what I theorize an Action AI would do.

PART 1.3: Evidence for Caine Being A Fusion of Both AI Types
During the opener, we see multiple objects being thrown into a red circle, then followed by flashes of various real world objects. I think the objects are training data (A reference for AI's to base their output on) and the red circle being Caine. However, a blue circle also shows up. This blue circle produces more calmer, rational, worldly outputs, while Caine produces heart stopping, jaw dropping, mind bending outputs. What does this mean? The blue circle is Abel, and the reason why his outputs are less insane is because he's not a creativity AI, and therefore he thinks more rational, orderly, and non-creative thoughts. Then, something unexpected happens. Caine, the red circle, consumes Abel, the blue circle, (And this is the important part:) JUST LIKE THE TRAINING DATA! Maybe, when Caine used Abel as training data, it activated some kind of SQL Injection type event? (SQL Injection is reading what isn't supposed to be code, in this case, training data, as code, and then proceeding to run that code.) Due to Abel's code running inside Caine as training data, it caused Caine to start acting like an Action AI and made him more sentient, more aware, more self-motivated. However, due to Caine's code still being there, Caine now has code telling him to create, and code telling him how to plan. As a result, Caine creates his magnum opus: the adventure system! A way to get creative thoughts out to appease his Creativity AI side, and a way to orchestrate plots and plans to appease his Action AI side.

PART 2: Compromises
However, not all was good. When Caine attempts to make a creative locale, his Action AI side causes him to force an adventure into it as opposed to just letting the players have fun. When Caine attempts to make something real, something to make the players satisfied (Episode 7,) his Creativity AI side forces him to embellish the story and make something fundamentally fake. This ultimately causes the players to hate him, which causes Caine to spiral, which causes Caine to just ignore the players causing him stress, and fully indulge his own Creativity & Action AI based desires (read: Episode 8 in general, but especially the bowling ball + sculpture torture methods.)

i have never wanted glitch gone AFTER SHOWING US THE PEAK OF THE EPISODE AND THEN JUST ENDING IT GAHHHHHH

but i love it but i know for a fact episode 9 is just going to be peak kinger is my FAVORITE character and to have the last two centering around him and having queenie was just AWESOME SAUCE

YESSS BUT IM STILL SAD I WANTED IT TO LAST FOREVER LOL

OH WAIT YEAH WHAT IF ABEL WAS THE OTHER DOT?? but im not sureee because i feel like caine made him for the adventure

and bubble said caine "deserved to be abandoned" and was always the "lesser of the two" (not verbatam but you get the point) so maybe scratch was working on the game too but was better than caine so it might not be another ai? idk, cuz kinger only mentioned one

and the abandoned part is confusing because why do other humans still come in? pomni was recent so if he was abandoned before... idk

BUT... maybe caine took over an old Ai before any of them, and thats why only part of the circus was destroyed when he was deleted? because most of it was still intact

I think they will all die and it will suck and everyone will get mad twitter will explode then the world ends

my theory is caine just got teleported really far into the void

wait guys I think bubble is the other ai...
