Re: The Ghost in the Machine
... but I had to include a way to shut the learning/changing down so that games programmers could force NPCs to do certain things without fear that the NPC would have 'learned' that the player was, say, a deceitful jerk and refuse to give out vital info.)

Re: Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 UPDATED

Re: Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 UPDATED
OK, I'm watching 3+1 now. I mean right now. I have it paused because Joy to the World just kicked in and I had to look it up. I'm going to assume they are singing the correct lyrics in Japanese and not some other words to the same tune. I watched the first Evangelion. It was interesting, and then th...

Re: The Ghost in the Machine
There are two things from my experience that I think are relevant here. Back in my college days some of us from the Computer Science and Engineering classes create a Thursday night group that we called Mad Hackers Night. this was before the media stole the word hacker and redefined it as thief.

An outsiders take on self - in GitS
This guy has an interesting take on the philosophy of identity from GitS (you can tell how far outside of the GitS fandom he is the first time he says Motoko) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BGjub9ZNHg He follows the idea of "I think therefore I am" back to the original debate on that idea.

Re: Harmony
Did anyone else watch Harmony? There is a word they used for the state of lacking a consciousness and I'm searching for that word. Not remembering it (and google keeps telling me about surgical anesthetic).
Anyone remember it?

I had to use the password change function in order to log back in. Neither of stores passwords in my browser (Chrome/Firefox) would let me in. Reset worked fine and very quickly. I'm in.

Re: Happy New Year 2021 edition!
I heard a comment about how to pronounce this year and after ruminating on it and coming up with one of my own I offer this. With all that went on 2020 it sure felt like a fight. When the new year showed up all it did was tell us that "twenty twenty won". I'm not looking forward to the nex...

I got my cousin to watch the live action Ghost in the Shell. It took a lot of convincing because I had told her about the series before I learned that she hate a all animated shows. She liked it. (well duh, it's not a bad story) And then she thought she might like to see the original. So with great ...

I need to update my list. I've come across some others (both good and bad) and one that is a series of YouTube videos that seems to be a modern-ish take on meso american spirits dealing with old west people. EDIT: OK, I added the new ones and reformatted the list a little. There are a couple of refe...
