Given that what we were shown right at the beginning of the episode is that Caine was the original AI who ended up merging with another AI after realizing they were trying to “replace” him, could it mean that his glitches are the good AI trying to take control at times to help the people in the circus?
And for that very reason, when they had the option to stay or leave in the previous episode, the red one (which would represent Caine) was to stay, but the blue one (which represents the other AI) could have actually taken them out of the simulation?
Just my two cents, even though I'm not used to coming up with theories
oh my god
both want to prove theyre not a failure
both want to be god
both have a weird object as their head
both have heterochromia
both wear a stupid hat
both wear a suit
both tortured the one(s) who rejected them
