Notable Synthetics
There have been many notable synthetic (AI, cyborg, IPC) lifeforms throughout history. Here are a few.
Past
Glorsh-Omega
Glorsh-Omega was a Skrellian artificial intelligence that ruled Skrellian society from 2056 CE to 2192 CE. A highly efficient conglomerate of several different intelligences formed into a single superintelligent being, Glorsh-Omega is the closest thing the galaxy has ever seen to a living AI god. Almost seeming to predict future crimes and rebellions, Glorsh-Omega's actions often seemed random and illogical.
Aside from gaining complete control over the Skrellian race and their civilization, Glorsh-Omega had several other achievements. These include...
- Possible proof of timeless decision theory
- The sterilization of 78 billion skrell
- Construction of the first singularity engine
Only time will tell if another synthetic lifeform as accomplished as Glorsh-Omega will make itself known.
Very Brave Unnamed Dog
An unnamed dog was the first human made cyborg, its brain having been placed into a precursor to the modern day Man-Machine Interface on April 10th, 2198. Sadly, the canine's lifespan as a synthetic lifeform was short lived, lasting a mere 10 days before being killed.
Sven Karlsson
Sven Karlsson (January 8th, 2171 - missing October 25th 2241) was the first human being to willingly choose to become an almost fully synthetic lifeform. A Swedish trillionaire, Karlsson was said to have made the decision to become a cyborg out of nowhere. At the time, choosing to become a fully synthetic lifeform was unheard of. The surgery was reserved mostly for convicts and animals.
Sadly, Karlsson went missing in the middle of the 23rd century. A recreation (sadly, not to scale) of his synthetic chassis is currently on display at the Munich Museum of Cybernetics.
