But like… we eat a LOT of calories a day to stay alive as a whole body I can’t imagine dead bodies being enough to feed us unless the population is going down a LOT. (Like a human body has maybe 2 years worth of calories)
I would say maybe less in a coma but those humans have fully developed bodies and muscles and all, so should be consuming about the same.
And yeah, extra processing power makes more sense than battery.
A fucking tortilla gives you enough energy to run for half an hour, we’re crazy efficient compared to machines, but the machines just needed a plentiful energy source and it wouldn’t matter that much. Yeah, the original brain computing made a lot more sense:

I thought it was closer to 1 year. In any case it’s something of that magnitude. That’s been a trope in Hollywood for a long time. Soylent Green (1973) has the same “eat people” thing. It would mean every 1 of 2 years, one half of the population would have to eat the other half.
