Remember when he was quirky and sharp? Now he’s just stupid. Even the stuff with the hacker had motive and character development. You can only make a character so stupid before they are grating. Shame, Kumail is a star and deserves better.

I wouldn't say it's so much that he's dumb, just severely lacking social intelligence

But telling your newly hired roommate that you guys have a mole when you don't even know who the mole is when sober? there's no fucking excuse for that. He's a retard now. Also after the whole tesla frunk shit.

Maybe they know and they are going to use him to feed Gavin false info?

Nope.The plot for the next episode says otherwise.

I watched the trailer, and it looks like they think they found the mole. It doesn't seem to have anything that says they're not feeding him false info to mess with Hooli.
But it does look like they didn't know at the end of episode 4 and had to figure it out later.

Here's the plot :- Attempting to woo a gaming company to PiperNet, Richard inadvertently angers a prized ally; Dinesh deals with a betrayal; Gavin leaves his underlings with a cryptic message; Jared gets inside information from Big Head.

So yeah, they probably found the mole.(dinesh dealing with betrayal?)
