We made the toe-squirrel earlier, I just replaced the toe with that kobold arm.
we still have 9 or so squirrels left.

We did? Time to go back and look.

[breadbocks]

No. We make our own security, or we have no security. Normal humans can be bribe, corrupted, or tricked.

The point is that we can read their minds and kill them if we have to. You are really paranoid. Wait... did you make that Cryswarm we were playing as earlier...?

We can shut down robots, and the fix the programming, and reuse them. Humans are a one time deal, dooabuddy. If our cryswarm ends up that big, yes.

[dragnar]

Hmm... I think I know how to better control the cryswarm. Our mind can't handle it well because humans don't multi-task hundreds of thoughts well. A hundred-core computer does it perfectly. Build a computer that works through a huge number of smaller ones, that can each send orders to one swarm unit. A simple AI linked to that could give orders to the cryswarm, using the hundreds of smaller processors to relay all the commands simultaneously.

In short: deal with the hive-mind by creating a master AI that interprets commands and relays the information along all the pathways required at once.

We can only send commands to unit 1, which then sends that to the others. Memory limits mean it can only use one word commands. The AI could send messages to all the units instead of just one command to the one in charge.

We never made toe-arm-squirrel. I went back and we didn't get to it because I wanted to combine the arm with a stable magic orb that you didn't want to remove from Steve.

We aren't that good at mecha/techno yet.

We aren't that good at mecha/techno yet.

You sure? It's pretty simple really, just lots of little computers. And we have rank 10, so AI is possible.

I'd assume it would be something we can do at level 15 tech. If not, go for it.

Also I have a question. In the post where you explained skills you put: Technologic, The Way of the Lightning Harnesser.
Does this mean that with technologic we can produce lightning with mana?

[Aklyon]

We have, Lillipad.

ah. I see your toe and raise you an arm.

You grab the arm, after some people rip the ballista bolt out of the wall just because its in the way. No ones asks why you want it, and the dwarves have already cleaned up any evidence they have a fortress hidden under here and vanished from sight of the townies again.

You go back home, and graft the arm onto a squirrel.It seems to have no idea how to move with blood drenching it, odd.

We'd need to figure out multi-core first, dragnar. Right now we have a simple computer with a basic single-core CPU. We really just need a bunch of lucky rolls, and someone to suggest comp upgrading.
After that, it'll be simple.

[Lillipad]

Upgrade the computer.

Crap.

[Lillipad]

Use psionics to boost concentration while upgrading computer.

[breadbocks]

TRY AGAIN!

[dragnar]

Invent multi-core processing. Also, to make things even smaller, forgo any cooling system. We can use magic to keep the parts cold! In fact, an absolute zero inside a computer would make it run insanely well...

We haven't upgraded the computer. Our tech is too low. An absolute zero would blow the computer up if we aren't careful.

[breadbocks]

We can make another. Do it.

Random.org is not liking you guys for some reason. We need 4 numbers above 10 to do this. (4 above 5 at Rank 15, but that would be quite a while)

An absolute zero would freeze the computer. if it was suspended, it would indeed be awesome.
