It's one thing if mankind is hunted to extinction by ChatGPT, but I really do object to being executed by Bing.

Ep 2: This one always gets me. :'(

Ep 3: Canadians, eh? Of course Trudeau would have a sex-android. (Also, this one makes me wonder if I should compile a directory of films referenced in GITS:SAC and watch them sometime. May be a good way to get a list of classics.)

I'm enjoying the commentary on industry and bureaucracy more this time around. I enjoyed it the first time, but this time it feels more real. The bit where they ask for the specs on the runaway tank, so they can stop it, so the tank-making company gives them the specs, and then they attack and find out that the company withheld all the info they actually needed; I cackled. There may have been a giant stompy tank shaped like a scorpion, but still the most real thing I've seen on TV.

Also liked the depiction of the android company having a friendly relationship with the homebrew community that had inexplicably grown up around one of its obsolete lines. That "we don't technically support this, buuuuut" was quite sweet to see. And the major's rant about the creeps who wanted android girlfriends.

Also, friend correctly ascertained that the real enjoyment of this show comes in the wish-fulfilment of working on a team where everyone is super competent and synchronized and impressed by each other's skill. It's a show for people stuck on terrible group projects.
