Apparently misidentifying what thread I was posting about x thing in earlier is not impossible.

It's one of those days where I'm mildly disgusted about the human body. I can't wait to be a robot, but then I heard IBM is trying to give machines blood.

I think I'm going a cry a little if having gross blood is a requirement for being an efficient machine.

I don't know how a machine would use it besides as coolant, but for us it's pretty nice. Carrying nutrients, signalling molecules, gases bound to carriers (bubbles + blood = bad), removing waste, and so on and so forth. The circulatory system in general is pretty impressive really.

Bodily fluids in general are kinda off-putting.

I can't really do anything right.

Trying to get my game off the ground but
1) I've had three failed games and frankly all three are my fault. I can obviously make excuses... but if I stepped up I could have made them work.
2) I haven't really advertised it strongly because of this fact... >_<
3) It is starting to sink already.

Ever kind of wanted things to just sort of work out and for you 'not' to be your own worst enemy?

The 'blood' machines use is for five-dimensional data storage and processing: longitude, latitude, height, pressure, flow. That's like making every bit in your computer be worth two bytes. At least, in theory. In practice, we're not quite there yet. It's like those multidimensional data crystals that were invented some time ago that cost a fortune to write on and can't be read with current technology.

I suspect the ideas will be forgotten when some sudden breakthrough in data manipulation makes them obsolete before they've even been marketed.

Well, from what I know, all quantum computers so far are liquid-based, so in the future we might have computers bleeding lethal supercooled liquid metal in your face.

It's not even real blood, so yeah.

Can I know what's wrong with the human body? I'm human and I'm triggered!

I'd rather keep my pretty  shade of blood red, well, blood, rather then having some shitty milky blood >:v

Anyway, crystals are a bit of an inflexible medium for data storage, it seems, since it takes a lot of effort to actualy store shit in them. Liquids are prob easier to manage, altough its probably a fragile medium unless kept well contained and isolated from outside temperature.

I just feel like people are way too fragile. But so are machines I suppose.

Humans aren't fragile at all. I'd start going into details on what deformations, injuries, and general trauma we're able to withstand and recover from, but I don't want to make people throw up and/or lose faith in humanity once and for all.

But look at this, for example. One note though: What they call 'pursuit predation' really is called 'persistence hunting'.

Aww...

But the great news is that most of the time humans pick themselves right back up! Not to mention at least one of the other seven billion human beings out there would likely lend a hand. Like people in this thread. :)
