I honestly wonder if you even are watching the show but just feel like trolling here.
The hosts have become sentient multiple times over their lifetime but Ford/Arnold would roll them back. As they become sentient they also remember everything which we clearly see with Dolores. Lets not also forget they're machines and there's plenty of real life examples where machine learning jumps exponentially as it completes each loop through the problem.
The end of S1 has all the decommissioned hosts attacking the party with Dolores and then in this episode they mention they number around 50 which isn't enough to take out the rendezvous point.
Seriously there is being confused because the story isn't being told straight out and then there is being retarded about stuff that is clear as day and referenced numerous times.
Are you ok? Are you high?
Lets try and digest the last page of this thread, yeah?
You ask why some people are getting hung up on the number of hosts. And then you imply that the numbers might not matter because they (the rebel hosts) can just make more.
i then wonder how it is the hosts know how to make more hosts.
Your answer to that is: Bernard and also that they can just figure it out because its sentient AI.
In my reply to that I was attempting to understand why you think the AI somehow attained not only self awareness but also advanced technical skills.
Chanur then suggests that Maeve and Bernard know and they can tell the other hosts about it.
That is followed by it being pointed out that Maeve gives no fucks about Dolores and that Bernard isnt someone Dolores wants to go to or even knows that she should.
Then there is the post that you just replied to that suggests that for Dolores to go wandering around looking for hosts she does not know have the knowledge and whose location she does not know is probably retarded given that the humans are landing imminently to shit stomp her and her band of rebels.
And here we are now, with your potato level reply about something really fucking obvious and that has nothing to do with the conversation other than restating what everyone here already knows.
Does that about sum it up for you or do we need to get even dumber?
