Let& #39;s do another spoiler-filled #Westworld
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> thread, shall we?
As always, you can just read most of this in my Sunday #Westworld
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> article here! https://www.insider.com/westworld-season-3-episode-4-details-analysis-explained-2020-4">https://www.insider.com/westworld...
The episode& #39;s title — "The Mother of Exiles" — is another name for the Statue of Liberty. Dolores seems to fancy herself a Mother of Exiles. Do we buy it? Who knows. This is #Westworld

The name of the custom suit company (Friston Custom Clothiers) Dolores and Caleb visit is a likely reference to a famous neuroscientist named Karl J. Friston.
Friston is famous for developing brain imaging techniques, which means in the narrative of #Westworld
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> his work would have been the basis for William& #39;s secret Delos project (where they mapped the brains of all the guests using the HATS

@ShaunRaviv did an INCREDIBLE feature on Friston for Wired Magazine in 2018, writing that he "first became a heroic figure in academia for devising many of the most important tools that have made human brains legible to science." https://www.wired.com/story/karl-friston-free-energy-principle-artificial-intelligence/">https://www.wired.com/story/kar...
But brain imaging isn& #39;t the only link between Friston and "Westworld." As Raviv& #39;s piece explains beautifully, Friston is the genius behind an idea that could revolutionize artificial intelligence (if it hasn& #39;t already).
Friston& #39;s revolutionary idea is called the "free energy principle." Raviv writes that Friston said this principle sets out to answer a simple question: "If you are alive, what sorts of behaviors must you show?"
It& #39;s incredibly hard to succinctly explain the free energy principle. Really everyone just needs to read this piece (which is so, so phenomenal, and changed the way I think my own life and AI) https://www.wired.com/story/karl-friston-free-energy-principle-artificial-intelligence/

Liam Dempsey& #39;s total net assets add up to just over $315 billion, in case you were wondering how much Dolores stole from him.
Serac alludes to a thermonuclear incident in France — this event was already teased by HBO with the "Westworld" season three date announcement back in January. #Westworld

(I& #39;m also very curious about the dead [?] cow next to Young Serac in that shot. It& #39;s oddly similar to the scene in S3E1 when we first see Bernarnold working at a meat plant and finding an injured cow)
"Chalores" helping William shave was an early tip-off about her true identity. #Westworld

In my interview with Tessa Thompson for this week& #39;s #Westworld
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> episode, we discussed what her character should be called.
Last season it was "Halores" (a portmanteau of Hale and Dolores). But now, since this copy is having to be a little more Charlotte, it& #39;s "Chalores."

@Djawadi_Ramin did a full instrumental cover of The Weeknd& #39;s 2011 song "Wicked Games" (released o a mixtape back when The Weeknd was all mysterious and anonymous) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9PuAm7d0PA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
A lot of other people have also picked up on what sounds like an instrumental cover of Bjork& #39;s 1997 song "Hunter" (playing when Serac and Maeve are in a bar in Singapore)
