I hear you like the matrix so we put the matrix in your fringe. :p

Honestly I think the downside is that he'll start to lose himself, like what Walter talked about as well. It's like father like son though, both going to extremes. Still, go for it, I dunno if it's hinting at him not making it by the end of the show or not but he's beating them at their own game so to speak. Preview for next ep looks great.

I'm surprised that we haven't seen anything from Olivia. I would think that the death of her daughter would've activated her. We need more bad ass Olivia. :)

I think any cortexifan powers Olivia had were used up with the way season 4 ended. Just my guess though.

Great episode, and we finally know that bald kid from waaaaay back in season one

IS an Observer! I suspect that he's tied to September, aside from this scene in that same episode and being an Observer to an extent himself:

I'm wondering if maybe the kid

IS in fact September. The Observers don't seem to move through time as we do. Plus he seemed intent on helping Walter several times... maybe in repayment for Walter helping him as a child?

Just some food for thought.

That was my first thought as well, and the significance to this could be why September acts contrary to all other Observers.

I had the same thought. Peter is going all warpath and Olivia almost seems indifferent. I'm wondering if that will change any.

I hate that they are ending the series.....this has been one of my favorite shows over the years.

It gave them something to point towards. A finish line. Not only that, but it could have been cancelled without a proper ending. That would have been much worse.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.

      Just remember - Microsoft is a trillion dollar company. They didn't have to raise the price this high. They chose to.
