  • Yeah, I know what you mean. Personally I think a bit of lewdness should be expected by anyone who is familiar with the source material and Shirow Masamune. After all, this is a guy who has spent a big part of his career drawing semi-erotic illustrations, so it's fine for GitS to be at least a little bit sexy.

  • As a fan of both Ghost in the Shell and Science Saru, I really hope this is good.

    GitS is one of those series where I don't feel like there's a perfect or definitive version--each manga, movie and show has its own strengths and weaknesses on display, and they all indirectly contribute to a bigger picture of what the world and characters are all about.

    My hope and expectation for this new show is simply that it adds its own contribution while doing justice to the characters, exploring the series' themes as they relate to today, and telling an interesting story that's fun to watch.

  • I'm not 100% sold on the look yet myself, but to be fair, I think they're really at least trying to channel the look of the original manga by Shirow Masamune, which I think had a lot more cartooniness and eroticism in it than what was depicted in Oshii's movies or Kamiyama's series.

    It's not as well executed in my opinion, but I'd say they're going for something along the lines of

  • The company that said not to call it slop like a month ago, right?

    They're not promising not to go down the AI path, they're just trying to say that their AI isn't gonna be "slop", when it most certainly is. They just don't get it

  • Sounds like a twat.

  • We must protect little Billy from seeing tits, so he can keep laser focus on preparing for the next school shooting.

  • If it doesn't have an algorithm aren't you responsible for what you're seeing?

  • I see your local profile here on fedia with no contact. When I try to click though I get a https warning. I don't have the app though...

  • Here we go again, tariff schizo 2026 edition.

  • It means that information propagates extremely easily.

    Sounds like you've just answered your question about why privacy is important.

  • Information doesn't "want" anything, you're personifying a concept.

  • I'll not sure Spencer had been doing a great job, but this feels incredibly abrupt and makes me wonder if Xbox's next generation hardware plans are cancelled in favor of a software and AI approach. The new CEO being an AI suit makes me think they want to take shit it a very different direction.

  • This sorry sack of shit makes Ajit Pai look good in retrospect. 🤮

  • But with that said, it probably is good to have at least a little pushback on presidential authority right now

  • This is as attempt to save Trump from himself moving towards the election.

  • I give it 18 months for the AI bubble to crash, and that's being generous.

    Nobody wants this shit, let alone enough to pay for it. The novelty has worn off for anyone with half a brain. People can't even afford modern hardware. And if big tech can't turn theft into a profitable business, then how is this ever going to pan out?

  • If I had to pick one, I'd have to pick The Clash.

  • Before it was zero-effort generative AI, it was low-effort asset flips.

    Unity quadrupling down on low quality slop games made by people who never gave a shit about the medium and are just trying to cash in.

  • Nice job FCC and CBS, way to Streisand Effect that shit. Talarico is right about one thing, the Trump administration must be really worried that Talarico has a chance to flip Texas.
