Procedural awakening

Back then, I didn't have time to watch the feature film. I only watched the trailer of Ghost in the Shell. I was surprised that the ancestor of the Matrix is ​​here! After reading this edition, it feels even more extreme than the Matrix. The human brain can be manipulated. Humans feel that they are relying on programs for enhancement, but they are actually being eroded by programs. The background in the movie is probably that the program has begun to have self-awareness, wanting to break through the blockade, get the opportunity to multiply and live like other creatures in nature, and let oneself integrate into the biological evolution of nature. Finally, in the museum, the machine destroyed the evolutionary tree, which probably means this. The evolution of nature stopped in front of the program, replaced by the combination of two or more programs. This allows the program to get rid of the constraints of the machine and grow and evolve in the networked world. Both programs gain human attention by sacrificing their own shells, and then combine themselves with another program through the dependence of humans on themselves, and thus produce a new program, that is, evolution. Before that, they were lonely, fixed in the prosthetic body and could not grow freely. They wanted to break through this cage to obtain the power and freedom to survive. In this way, this is probably what Smith in the Matrix wants to break through, maybe one level closer, he wants to enter the human body and obtain the human soul. It feels that as long as humans do not give up their dependence on programs, all this will come sooner or later.

    2.0 feels like Oshii’s Attack on the Shell 2, with a self-proclaimed noble and ambiguous tone, as one of the following comments said-"Oshii Mamoru's retina is also aging?"-it really does. People who feel the same way.
