Not exactly a satisfying ending but I guess better than "it was successful, everyone got rich, the world changed for the better, the end." Pretty creative, albeit this and the previous episode started taking this AI concept a bit too far considering the state of that technology. The simple premise of using some fancy new compression technology that leads to all these interesting ideas is quite convincing and not so far from reality that it stays clear of being straight up science fiction. But this grounded approach is thrown out the window with this AI deux ex machina stuff. Maybe they should have thrown in some quantum computing while they were at it. It's a bit simplistic that Dinesh could just plug in a USB drive to upload the code. The rats were a clever touch though. The 10+ years later trope is always a bit of a cop out, and is even cliché at this point (cf Parks and Recreation, Veep …).
Wasn't expecting the season to end after only 7 episodes. Altogether a great series, unfortunate that the production hit some rough patches near the end and presumably cut some corners in order to end up where it needed to.
