Why would it be dangerous for a host to reach The Forge and get all the guest data?
In HBO's Westworld S2E9, Bernard says that in addition to The Cradle, which contains all the hosts' personalities, there is a digital repository called The Forge which contains all the guests' personalities. (A tech says that the operators of the park are "replicating their cognition".) Bernard implies that it could be disastrous if a host reaches The Forge. "Imagine what one host could do with that trove of information."
I'm having trouble imagining anything terrible. What is Bernard insinuating?
Best Answer
In episode 10, we are told by
the system controlling The Cradle (represented by an avatar of Logan)
that:
"You told me to offer the hosts the accumulated wisdom of dissecting the human psyche a hundred million times over. In short, a competitive advantage. A way to understand her enemy. Their world is not for the faint of heart, Bernard. It's winner take all. The hosts are unlikely to survive out there. But armed with this knowledge she might."

Did Dolores delete the guest data?
She did delete a considerable amount of guest data--and triggered the flooding of the valley--but she also moved the coordinates to the Valley Beyond to ensure that no humans would be able to find it once the gate was closed.Why was Westworld created?
Delos, the company that created Westworld, essentially wanted to use all that data as a means to unlock immortality \u2014 imagine a world where a human's consciousness could be uploaded into a host \u2014 but the original hosts, led by Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood), revolted against their puppet masters.What year is Westworld set in?
Westworld is "set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past...", and all of the dates equate to a time period around 2053. Maeve's near escape was marked at June 15, 2052, on Delos' security footage. Several official sources cite the time period of 2053. Incite Inc.Host Foundry in the Cloud EASILY with the Forge
