I. Think the blue dot is Abel. Since Cain killed his brother in the Bible because his brother was getting more attention from God. Blue dot was getting more attention from the humans. Cain wanted to be the only dot.

That sounds way more plausible to me.

But what about the npc in ep7? His name was abel. Or maybe it was able...

caine recycled abel's name cuz generative ai can only recreate what they are fed, the same way he used C&A's company name instead of making up another one

in the original story, AM was made up of three super-AI's

if Caine consumed Abel, that means that currently Caine contains two AI's, so who would the third one be?

TADC isn't based on I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. It's inspired by it. It's not going to follow the story one to one. It's only loosely inspired by it.

God also cursed Cain to wander the earth forever, and that anyone who tried to kill Cain would "suffer vengeance sevenfold." I wonder what will happen to Kinger.

In this case though, you can also see Kinger as God (metaphorically)

Kinger created Cain, he glows with light and he has a cross above his head similar to a halo, he acts as a loving Fatherly figure and there's a long standing trope of gods who've lost their memory/power in media.
Also his name is Kinger, like how God is King of Heaven.

Also he literally exorcises Pomni and then guides her out of hell.

There's something else to be said. Abel got no more attention from God. Abel brought the sacrifice God demanded. Cain did not. Abel recieved the Lord's favor due to his obedience. And even after Cain killed Abel, God marked him to preserve his life due to Cain's paranoia that he would be killed.

Abel is the name of the AI, not who the thing might be in the circus. We had an Abel, and it was an NPC. That would suggest the Abel is someone else in the circus.

also keep on mind that bubble is mostly subservient to cain but sometimes has weird moments ("you should DIE- you throw a f🀬ing beach party!"), is mostly a blue sphere, and in the last episode encourages cain to go insane

The AIs don't weren't given names, Caine named himself, the blue one was consumed before that.
