My view is the Soong strived for perfection and "overengineered" Data.
Spoilers How much more vulnerable than Data are these synths?
- Thread starter JirinPanthosa
- Start date
Not to mention that in First Contact, the Borg didn't just try to assimilate Data with an injection of nanoprobes.
If was Data's creator, I would hide his On/Off Switch up his arse in his anus. You don't want any random blokes turning your Android On/Off.
Also, after Soong's experience with Lore do you think he wants to make it that difficult?
Data stated officially that he has a ultimate storage capacity of 800 Quadrillion Bits
If using Short scale (US, Eastern Europe, English Canadian, Australian, and modern British)
1 Quadrillion = 10^15
800 x 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 800,000,000,000,000,000 bits
= 100,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
= 100 ExaBytes (Decimal Scale)
800 x 1024^5 = 900,719,925,474,099,200 bits
= 112,589,990,684,262,400 bytes
= 100 ExBiBytes (Binary Scale)
If using Long scale (Western, Central Europe, older British, and French Canadian)
1 Quadrillion = 10^24
800 x 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits
= 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
= 100 YottaBytes (Decimal Scale)
800 x 1024^8 = 967,140,655,691,703,339,764,940,800 bits
= 120,892,581,961,462,917,470,617,600 bytes
= 100 YoBiBytes (Binary Scale)
I wonder which one of these is his actual Ultimate Memory Capacity?
He has linear computational speed rated at 60 Trillion Operations/sec
If using Short scale (US, Eastern Europe, English Canadian, Australian, and modern British)
1 Trillion = 10^12
60 x 10^12 = 60,000,000,000,000 Operations/sec
If using Long scale (Western, Central Europe, older British, and French Canadian)
1 Trillion = 10^18
60 x 10^18 = 60,000,000,000,000,000,000 Operations/sec
I wonder which one of these is his actual Total Computational Capabilities?

Maybe if Soong programmed in more safeguards to prevent Sociopathy from developing, he wouldn't need to worry about that.

Hmmm...yes, you're right. We just have to figure out what causes sociopathy and then program it in to a learning computer.
He seemed to make it work with Data.
Until the emotion chip was introduced. Oddly.
Even if the shot went through her eyes to her brain, can't they reconstitute her brain from a single neuron?
They could recreate the neural nets, but not the information it contained?
That's with the transporter.
I think Maddox created Soji and Dahj specifically for the potentially highly dangerous undercover missions he sent them on, to uncover the truth behind the synth ban. Therefore their capabilities were designed for that purpose, with dormant defensive abilities installed in case of emergency.
The other synths were created for a much simpler purpose: to be a new life form, living a peaceful, idyllic life on a hidden planet - designed, therefore, to an entirely different purpose, one in which it was hoped self defence would never be needed.
Also, it may make a difference whether Soong or Maddox was in the driving seat at any given time.
IIRC, only Maddox knew how to do that. I don't think he ever taught Soong.
