As the ultimate pretend-sophisticate, Erlich loves to hold court, but reality has humbled him, made him desperate. He’s at once the high-chinned father of Silicon Valley’s hottest compression company and the numbskull who dumped his 10 percent stake in Pied Piper to cover debts from a separate venture. The shot appropriately bookends an episode that opens with Erlich joining Richard on a Bloomberg TV segment, where he pronounces the “c” in the words “Embarcadero” and “San Francisco” with the Spanish “th” sound. He is an absurd man who longs to be taken seriously. We’ve seen him inhale through many vessels, so the choice of bong is significant: This is Erlich at his most distinguished and professorial, looking one tweed jacket away from a tenured position at Sarah Lawrence. As the Pied Piper team celebrates 100,000 installs in 10 days and smiting its nemeses at Hooli, Erlich sits alone on the back porch, smoking weed out of a formal glass pipe. Perhaps the quintessential shot of Erlich Bachman pops up near the end of “Bachman’s Earning’s Over-Ride,” in the moments after the self-styled tech visionary has finally hit bottom.

Other than Jefferson Mays, seen here playing Dempsey, season three will also add Aaron Paul, Scott Mescudi and Lena Waithe to the cast, and based on previous teasers, the action will take place outside of the park this time around.Season 3, Episode 8: ‘Bachman’s Earning’s Over-Ride’ goes on about how his company's 'revolutionary strategy engine' can use data to fix everything, while ominously ending on the note that 'your only choice, is us.' Not creepy at all. In the video, Incite co-founder and new Westworld character Liam Dempsey Sr.

The fictional company follows previous Westworld promos we've seen at events like SXSW by having a booth at the event and sponsoring a rooftop cocktail reception. In a promotion linked to the Wired 25 event, the trailer links to a company ' Incite Inc.' that will apparently feature somehow in the show's third season, which is scheduled to air on HBO in 2020 - just in time for the launch of HBO Max. While the first two Westworld seasons were centered around the use of AI and robotics technology at a sort of vacation getaway, the teaser revealed tonight turns the lens back toward Silicon Valley tech giants.
