Reverse-engineering The Glitch

....

What do they use to send signals to the rest of the body?

.... could it be?


.... maybe....

perhaps.....

I dunno....

copper wires?

 

Same as any brain in a robot body. Some kind of converter that attaches to the brain stem and converts the impulses to binary information.

It will never be copper wires. Never. (We use gold for computers, anyways. Copper is for power cables.)

 

And plumbing.

Speaking of which, many of the head mods available to the Glitch have brains.
I just thought I'd point that out. :catface2:

This thread was tl;dr. I don't know if someone mentioned that before.

 

Huh. you might be right. Never thought about that.

But.... what about.....

optic fibers?

 

Could be purely aesthetic. One has a giant eyeball head. Pimp my Glitch.

I assume that's what optic computing is.

 

Cool.

 

My Glitch character will be a cybernetic organism; living tissue over a metal endo-skeleton. Its CPU is a neural net processor - a learning computer.

 

Do yu mean living tissue UNDER an exo-skeleton? Why would someone want human flesh as a...vanity item?

 

Now i'm thinking of the Cybermen...

 

Observation: The meatbags are uncomfortable when dealing with superior robotic specimens as it reminds them of their own frail, fleshy mortality.
It is much easier to infiltr- I mean, put their minds at ease if we appear to be similarly weak and fleshy.

 

Oh so the Skynet approach. Be warned this kind of processors are known to turn on their creators and owners on the same day they are activiated... that is all.

 

Suggestion: please refrain from revealing classified intelligence-gathering tactics. Keeping the meatbags unaware is highly desirable.

Statement: we exist to cooperate and coexist with future meatbag slaves the fleshy races. We have no plans to enslave anybody. We only wish to continue construction of the deathcamps five-star meatbag hotels.

 

you two are constantly reminding me of the Cybermen from Doctor Who...
I want a pet Cybermat

 

Bit of an engineering problem. What sort of computational advantages would be had by using an antimatter brain? It seems a bit much for an Isaac Asimov reference.

 

We had a thorough debate about this. I still vote for wires because they're pretty amazing signal transporters.

 

Throw in a potato, and you can have an evil-mastermind-soulless-machine fully fit and capable of automation.

 

Oh. Just read (past tense? Stupid English is stupid.) through that.
So we're talking about normal matter wires now?

 

I doubt it though. A lot of people still loves the ideas of positronic controlled explosions, it seems.
