while im not sure I liked the presentation of the robot modeling sequence, I did like how they basically showed (not telled!) the mc being brainhacked by a pretty chatbot

i am pro ai rights and would also like them to be more than perfectly manipulative sociopaths

The milquetoast protag got brainhacked and was convinced to face down a dude with a blowtorch and won the fight with flailing nerd strength and beat him on the face with his vive.

Everything he did in that scene, including the reluctance to kill a defeated enemy, was in character.

Anyways, I like the broad direction of this show, because it's semi-hard sci fi in the vein of Boichi's Origin, also featuring a perfectly sociopathic robot. And characters have motivations and agendas, even if they are unclear.
