Yeah… I’ve always heard a lot of big talk from him about bcachefs that didn’t seem to be very easy to verify with any concrete data or benchmarks, but now I’m starting to maybe see why.

Delusional thinking and LLMs are a bad combo.

I’m not qualified to diagnose mental illnesses but …

They hate pronouns until they want to fuck their GPU.

I guess his “AGI” can make him a kernel. Or maybe he doesn’t need a kennel at all now.

Additional info:

• Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (End of Evangelion, FLCL, Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX)
• Written by Yoko Taro (Nier game series, Nier Automata Ver1.1a anime)
• Music composed by Keiichi Okabe (Nier, Tekken)

After 20 years of Evangelion rebuilds I was kind of ready to see Khara and Tsurumaki move on to something new, but I’m more excited and interested in this announcement than I thought I would be thanks to the intriguing trailer and drastically different production crew. If nothing else I think it’ll be really interesting where they take this show, and the high quality background art of the teaser showing a bunch of musical instruments in an overgrown environment makes me think that they are going to make a serious attempt at making something cool and new.

They got me hooked!

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
