This week, Simon and Eugene look at the second episode of Real Humans, season 2, where they discuss the changes between the last season and this, or lack thereof, the loss of some of the interesting ambiguities, and whether there is a Swedish TV body count limit.

Next Week: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire.

Can we have a Real Humans movement?

Like, not racism but against fictional android workers, but human-curated net, real-world connection building, local area solidarity, international solidarity, grass roots everything, and total boycott of anything "AI"?

War heute bei Hansi dem Bass-Meister. Wir haben unser Vorhaben grob strukturiert. Es wird gegen Abend in der heutigen Folge TBL No. 19 auch wieder Videomaterial geben. So wie ihr es von mir gewohnt seid. Ich nehme euch überall mit hin. (Außer zur Lohnarbeit!) - BTW Wir sind echte Menschen. Keine KI Prompts!

This week, Simon and Eugene look at the final episode of the first series of Real Humans, episode 10, The Code.

They discuss the source of HuBot morality, how HuBot’s having an old USB-A port is at least better than a Lightning port, why HuBots don’t have laser eyes, and what the Swedish Actors Union might have to say about using digital clones to enable recasting.

We have been watching "Humans" (2015), the UK remake of the Swedish "Äkta människor" (2012, "[Real Humans]"), and we're just about coming up on the last episode.

The Swedish one was surprisingly well-produced for a Swedish sci-fi, but the UK one is simply Very Good Sci-Fi and Very Good TV.

I can absolutely understand if people appreciate the atmosphere of the Swedish one, but generally I'd say watch the UK one first. If you liked that one *and* you like Scandinavian TV, watch the Swedish one after that.

Simon and Eugene look at the Real Humans episode, Blind Love. They discuss legal statutes in alternative universe Sweden, constructive dismissal by Hubot, and whether the video site glimpsed in this episode is an alternate Swedish version of YouTube because they didn’t dare to google whether Bigtubes is a real site.
