Torment Nexus (or it will be as they scale up).
Serious ethical guidelines and research into pain etc., should be required, but capitalism.
Does that mean there are 5375 "data centers" in my head right now?
Where are the stats about storage, processing power, etc?
Clickbait bullshit.

Ah a small step for man, a giant leap for our matrix overlords!
Soon.
the matrix plot would have made much more sense if they were using humans as bio CPUs rather than batteries… which they have to feed with food (energy).
they were originally suppose to make them about cpu, but the directors assumed audiences wouldnt understand the references, it doesnt make sense since the robots can use nuclear power, geothermal energy, and wind.
that was the original script :(
The one they stole? Edit: I was recalling incorrect reporting from a decade past. More detail in the following thread.
Admittedly my recollection was vague. Here's the first link I found that is telling the story.

Seems like there was reporting about a decade ago that the claimant was successful in her plagiarism lawsuit when she really wasn't.

This goes more in depth to her claim and serves to underscore just how tenuous the claims of plagiarism/similarity are.
oh? haven't heard this one
Edit: op didn't deliver, i looked it up. what a loon.
Keep away from cheese
But what about Porthos?
or the enterprise episode where the repair station AI used alien brains it kidnapped to increase its CPU power, permanently damaging the brains of the ones that stayed there the longest.
i don't have enough to spare any, sorry.
I wouldn't get too exited, it appears to run on baloney.
Needs to be called Magi (Neon Genesis Evangelion reference)
There are too many units, to be Magi it needs to be three. (Magi was a reference of three wise men of the bible or three magi)
Bio-neural circuitry?
Keep all cheese out of the facility.
The Christians are going to love this one
