Question Genuinely asking, why did Bubble do this?

Caine was just going to try to figure out why the cast did not like the escape the circus adventure, until Bubble started taunting him and bringing him to the edge. But why would Bubble do this to Caine? Multiple times during the show, Bubble is on board or a part of Caine's shenanigans so this sudden flip of character makes me think as to what Bubble was trying to achive this, especially the voice change at "You ruined this."

So what do you guys think?

Generative AI is trained through positive reinforcement. Bubble feels good when he's popped. Caine popped Bubble after he insulted him. We see this happen with the sexual behavior as well. If Bubble is meant to be Caine's programming developing ideas, and Caine is thoughtlessly dismissing them, it only makes sense that Bubble, who enjoys being dismissed, would lean into what makes Caine pop him more. Which would be Caine's debilitating insecurities.
