In westworld season 3, The year is 2058 and the course for all the humans on the earth is charted by an AI system called Rehoboam. The show is taking so much inspiration for the real world and the first episode feels like a wake up call. The Westworld’s world is moving towards a new world order, and the same feels like for our world too.

ABOUT INCITE

Incite is a new conglomerate in the world of westworld. The co-founders of Incite one of which is Liam Dempsey Sr. and the other hasn’t been named yet created the AI Solomon. The first iteration of a god-like AI who could chart an accurate path for all the humans in the world. The second iteration of AI is called Rehoboam which is featured in the show. The AI would know what career the person will be best for as well the route for him for daily commute. According to show, During the year 2039, there was an act passed, Data privacy act. This act was possible due to Incite as they forced Congress to take actions against Big Data companies so they won’t exploit user’s data. This might sound like Incite cares about the privacy of its customers and wants what’s best for its customers. But the data privacy act just ensured that only Incite has access to the data of the people, so they can control everything from a career someone chooses to what crime is going to take place. (This is just a theory but the crime app that Caleb uses in the first episode might have some links to Incite). Basically Rehoboam is like the ultimate guide to how to live a life.

The weeks prior to the premiere of the Westworld. HBO snuck a video about incite on it’s site which featured Liam Dempset Sr. and basically is an advertisement about the advantages of having your entire life being controlled by an AI.

WHY INCITE IS WORSE THAN DELOS

One of the big themes about the first two seasons of Westworld is that hosts are trying to gain free-will to break free of human control. Whereas we see humans readily give away their free will to an AI. There are even biotic implants in the show to help people be better connected to the AI.

Incite at its core is a big data company which took away other company’s power of acquiring data of people.

The co-founder of Incite Liam Dempsey Sr. was mysteriously found dead and the other co-founder is still alive. The same way Arnold was found dead. Anyways later his son steps up as the head of the company. But even though he is the new head of the company the board cut off his access to Rehoboam ever since his dad died. So the theory of Dempsey Sr. being killed is more plausible.

From the looks of things on the Incite website, and the meeting between Incite’s head Dempsey Jr. and Delo’s unnamed employee(played by Pom Klementieff) that even though they conduct business together, the companies aren’t at the best of terms.

The AI Rehoboam controls each and every AI on the earth. It is also shown off that the AI has a complete profile of each and every human. Which is similar to Delo’s little side project where they tried to create a code for everyone who entered the park.

And it feels like the reason she wants to destroy Rehoboam is to free people from their loops but the act is too nobel for her. And knowing the show there has to be deeper motivation. And one thing the Incite logo looks like the maze, Coincidence, I think not. Maybe Ford controls Incite too. Okay I know this is really far fetched and its highly likely that this is not true, but still I’m saying it just in case my theory is correct.

This is all I could figure out about Incite by watching the first episode and through the websites. Did you guys notice something else, if you did comment down below. Thanks for reading the blog till here, and tomorrow I’ll write about some questions you might have after watching the season 3 premiere. I’m also thinking about writing about Better call Saul.
