- Look for a specific hotel room for a specific day on booking dot com, Note the price
- Now set your location to NYC or SF
- Look up that same hotel room
- Is it $80 a night more expensive?
- YEAH.

This ep is about a species without gender, so pronouns inevitably come up. Riker makes a mistake and gets corrected. He apologizes, asks what pronouns Soren prefers, and then says he will do his best to be better going forward.

Ted Chiang called LLMs a blurry jpeg of the internet, which I think is a great metaphor
