Ghost in the Shell

 If we are part human/part machine, do Asimov’s rules still apply?

  1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
  • Kusanagi robot kills a human in the first scene
    • Shoots the man with political asylum 
  • Project 2501: hurts humans by blowing up facility to escape
  1. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law
  • Kusanagi was helping the police catch the guy in the red shirt, but she did harm him
  • She wants to dive herself to discover if there are a ghost and orders humans to let her be the first 
  • Robot fingers to type at a rapid speed
  • Bateau is always following instructions
    • Searching for rogue robots
  1. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
  • Kusanagi said if she were to give her body and computer brain back, there wouldn't be much left
    • She has her own conscious but is confined in her body
    • She is curious about her origin, she wants to know what's in her own brain
    • What's the importance of being human if a robot can create a "ghost" or personality on its own
  • Project 2501: she demands political asylum, even though not programmed to work
    • Acting as a living, thinking entity
    • Nothing defines what life is

Bateau: What's it like to swim in the sea?

Kusanagi: Dark, cold, fearful; She feels hope, feels like shes becoming someone else

Love Death & Robots

Beyond the Aquila Rift  The animations in this short film reminded me of the movie The Polar Express . The production team of The Polar Express used motion capture technology to animate realistic-looking human characters. Motion animation is created by using sensors placed on actors' skin to record a person's movements and translate them into computer animation. Similarly, the producers of Beyond the Aquila Rift  used rendered 3D modeling mapped over motion capture. Beyond the Aquila Rift  definitely used more cutting-edge animation, especially because The Polar Express  was created back in 2004. I simply found it interesting how similar they appeared especially with the difference in time in which they were created.
