Themes: what does it mean to be human?
A team of scientists and investors meet to answer perhaps the most pressing question of the 21st century: can an Artificial General Intelligence ever understand what it’s like to have a mortal body?
Can an AGI understand what it’s like to sweat or laugh or menstruate or fall from a great height? Can it ever understand what it’s like to live inside of a vessel that is, inevitably, breaking down? Or ever understand the terror that comes with loving others who themselves are reliant on a body to survive? Indeed, it feels essential that an AGI have empathy for this terror.
It is, perhaps, the only thing that will ensure our own survival.

Themes: do lockdown drills make things... worse?
A random group of classmates sit through another lockdown drill. It's only a drill. There is no actual violence in this show.
At first, the classmates deal with the boredom in predictable ways. They text and scroll. They flirt. They make jokes. But the longer the drill goes, and the more frustrated they become, tensions and resentments begin to bubble to the surface.
Eventually, we start to wonder whether all the drills and security and vigilance is doing more harm than good? Eventually, the students start to wonder just how safe they are locked down with each other. Or themselves.
