Xenobots: the Age of Biological Robots | Mashable

[@comment.highlighted]

The idea of A. I. designing a better heart is an interesting concept 🙂

[@jofbeats11]

Question "what should we tell all the scientists making stuff like this to take limits on xenobots so they won't become the grey goo scenario we're all secretly terrified about"

[@lol22332]

The only way we could is by telling them not to invent the technology.

[@lol22332]

This is surely the beginning. Would take a lot of development to get to a workable “Grey goo” scenario. No need to protest, they will do it anyways. It’s a novelty research. It’s harmful when they start having ideas like “let’s release these into lakes so they clean water” like man made algae. We should not be messing with the food chain, it’s already a disaster we cant afford to add more pressure by making plastic eating organisms. Something could eat the xenobots in the wild and that could create a boom in that predator population leaving their native victims at risk of over predation.

@@lol22332 but we as people have the power the do something about having our word out and find away to talk sense into these scientists to stop them or at least regulate the use of these creations.

[@Jh0than]

There’s already self imposed restrictions on top of regulatory guidelines that would prevent the type of scenario you are speculating. Even if you did manage to impose a ban this research would still exist within obscurity.

Very interesting with huge powerful potential. What stops them mutating and doing something we don’t want?

If they run out of skin cells will they go after living cells like humans ?

They can heal themselves

This is amazing!

So like in the movies, they’ll be able to push a button and cause an instant heart attack.

[@Wolfen443]

Life finds a way, imagine using these developments to extent human life or replace lost human parts defying limits of age. Combining living cells with AI is literally playing God creating live from Death and life alike.

Just think they want you excited so you can accept and they experiment on you....which they are already doing without your consent. Just think what's in air food and water already?!

They are using this as a bio weapon to edit dna using crispr. I'm one of their targeted individuals. Any ideas on how to remove this from body?

[@tiberiusgracchus4222]

Put about a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and a squeeze of lemon into 8 oz of pear juice and gulp it down. That should take care of it.

[@destroyerofturtles5024]

Maybe try taking your schizophrenia meds?

[@chilluminati1292]

But why, why can't we just live life and stop creating things that has no meaning for life because we were all born to die so just stop it.
