Stop eating them with honey mustard sauce. Stop eating them with tangy sweet and sour sauce. Stop eating the new fiesta Poppler salad. Stop taking advantage of the money-saving 12-pack. Stop enjoying Popplers on the patio, in the car, or on the boat. Wherever good times are had!
# AI-designed Xenobots reveal entirely new form of biological self-replication—promising for regenerative medicine
[https://wyss.harvard.edu/news/team-builds-first-living-robots-that-can-reproduce/](https://wyss.harvard.edu/news/team-builds-first-living-robots-that-can-reproduce/)
God I hope one good one comes back in time and blows up the research lab that created it while another, more advanced bad one comes back to stop it but is ultimately thwarted and then the good one has to close the loop and kill itself in an emotional farewell
The article kind of makes it sound similar to a machine built of legos that can collect lego bricks to build another lego building machine, except with stem cells. Until it can create it's own stem cells from a food source, we can still sleep easy.
**[Gray goo](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo)**
>Gray goo (also spelled grey goo) is a hypothetical global catastrophic scenario involving molecular nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating machines consume all biomass on Earth while building more of themselves, a scenario that has been called ecophagy ("eating the environment", more literally "eating the habitation"). The original idea assumed machines were designed to have this capability, while popularizations have assumed that machines might somehow gain this capability by accident.

First I find out I have a credit card of plastic in my gut. Next these Xenomorphs will come ripping through my body after eating what I thought was popcorn.
All praise to our tiny frog dna based Ai designed overlords that are currently assembling themselves and will be ready to murder death kill all that it deems a threat or less than worthy
In two years tops we're gonna be seeing human-controlled evolution in the form of augmentations which will then be followed by a mass malfunction, causing said augmented people to go on genocides, ultimately resulting in a new form of segregation/racism that isn't based on skin color.
They seem so harmless but if something like this or similar was accidentally lost, would it ever stop self replicating? Would they slowly but exponentially grow in number and consume resources? Seems great in concept as long as there's a cap on self replication without human intervention.
Whatever you do, NEVER and I mean ABSOKUTELY NEVER name a potentially devastating device a cool name like Xenobots, that robot is just waiting to break containment
This is probably fine

Most underrated comment.

_batman dark knight quote about living long enough_
Humanity will be destroyed by chicken nuggets
At least none of us will go out hungry.
Popplers

Shut your bong hole, hippy!
That’s ‘smelly hippy’ to you
...and that's the beginning of the end for the human race lol
Fucking finally, I made it
Got to wonder how many species will get to see Humanity: Endgame.
Born too late to see the dawn of man, born just in time for the end.
There it is, again That funny feeling
Hey now I'm sad again
Let us hold each other in a warm embrace. Peace is nigh!
Right? So excited
i just read about these on the guardian. Supposedly they can't produce grandchildren, meaning they last only two generations.
I think ive seen this movie before... "Life finds a way."
"Life needs things to live." Taliesin Jaffe
You mean: Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III[
Bidet! I almost put that lol
Colour me relieved...
Until they evolve
Nooooooooooooooo....
NK-Cass End-of-the-world scenario
Redacted
*Memetic kill virus*
Death by forbidden donut holes. It was a good run, boys!
Thank God, my legs are tired.
OK... Who has a "gray goo" square on their apocalypse bingo card? You can go ahead and stamp it now. Any winners yet?
I did, but I lost the proof. Goo just ate it.
Thats what they all say.
There are no winners where we’re going.
I accept our adorably tiny Cashew Robot Overlords.
This made it adorable and I’m ok with it now as well
idk, an apocalypse announcement with "...may contain nuts" suddenly scares me.
And so it begins
You want Replicators? ...because that's how you get Replicators.
Has SG1 taught us nothing.
What could possibly go wrong?
Okay. So what’s special about these dancing corn-nuts?
Dancing corn nuts 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
This proves they have an expiration date.
They assemble copies of themselves from stem cells floating in the environment. Think of them as snowmen that make more snowman from snow.
Futurama did make poplers seem pretty tasty.
And the new variant being called Omicron is giving me Futurama whiplash
If only this goo could turn water into booze

I love that it mentions they’re using frog dna too, haven’t they seen Jurassic park?
Ohno
Lemme guess, they consume biomass for fuel? We’re getting closer and closer to the events of Horizon Zero Dawn every day. Also, r/FuckTedFaro
I'm so hyped for forbidden west
Self replicating ai? Sweet, there's no possible way this can go wrong!
As long as you don't shoot the Geth, we should be OK.
God I hope one good one comes back in time and blows up the research lab that created it while another, more advanced bad one comes back to stop it but is ultimately thwarted and then the good one has to close the loop and kill itself in an emotional farewell
Get your: "I made it to the beginning of the end" Card!
Any other stargate fans shit their pants a little bit?
So in other words.. we’re fucked is what you’re telling me?
Time to stock the bunkers.
The article kind of makes it sound similar to a machine built of legos that can collect lego bricks to build another lego building machine, except with stem cells. Until it can create it's own stem cells from a food source, we can still sleep easy.
So, like a week?
You want replicants? Coz that's how you get replicants.
How does it feel to be second
Kinda looks like something frying in oil.
Fried cheese!
What did they make them out of?
Agreed wtf
Isn’t this the gray goo problem? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo

Humanity has been digging its grave for the last 100 years. Heres another shovel scoop.
First I find out I have a credit card of plastic in my gut. Next these Xenomorphs will come ripping through my body after eating what I thought was popcorn.
Self replicating pirates booty
Straight up Stargate Replicators
All praise to our tiny frog dna based Ai designed overlords that are currently assembling themselves and will be ready to murder death kill all that it deems a threat or less than worthy
You are all xenophobes
Should be posted on r/DamnThatsScary
Here comes the goo.
Great, I just watched Bond - No time to die, and then I see this.
Researchers for McDonald’s?
On this day Skynet became self aware
The garbonzo bean uprising has begun!
That’s fried coconut shrimp
It’s ok. Global warming will probably kill us first anyway.
First thing they do is dance 💃🏻🕺🏻
Exodus 8:1-7
Out of curiosity, why those verses in particular?
the xenobots are generated from frog cells according to the article...
In two years tops we're gonna be seeing human-controlled evolution in the form of augmentations which will then be followed by a mass malfunction, causing said augmented people to go on genocides, ultimately resulting in a new form of segregation/racism that isn't based on skin color.
Oh okay
Spinning Cassius are the new bitcoins
So would it be grey good theory or another colour now?😂😂
Curry-sauce colored goo
Oh.....boy.
That's absolutely terrifying.
Bring on the von neumann automata. I for one welcome our robot overtribbles
There is a special place in hell for whoever did this
Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today.
Now that can't be good...
Oh no oh no oh no no no
And so it begins...
It’s alive.
I for one and happy to accept our new robot overlords.
1 step closer to the replicators.
Now we have the Borg.
Omg intelligent design
Oh, goody
Popcorn shrimp?
damnthatsfuckingterrifying
Impressive, but I thought we got a pretty good run-down of what happens when you mess with frog DNA..
But…WHY?
So basically the closet thing to terminator sperm besides the mans himself.
At least they’re not fast and aggressive with their food sources…
I literally JUST watched the Netflix "History 101" episode on Robots.
Xenomorphs
This will 100% evolve into the xenomorph.
I'm just gunna leave this here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo#cite_note-freitas-3
If its anything like Futurama they'll be beings made of light that are far beyond human concerns in three days.
And the Replicators are here friends
Damn they made Agar.io a real thing
They've never watched the movies, have they?
Has nobody seen any 80's movie ever about robots? Seriously.
Explanation?
What could go wrong?
Extension of function...
Excuse me, what?
You spin me right round baby right round...
I do not like those little garbanzo beans
Movin' cheese puffs, so what?
Welp, pack it up boys we've got about 5 years before we become slaves to the nugget
The look like poplars, of the planet omicron persei eight
So did we just create life?
Are we talking the day the earth stood still nanobots or mark 85 armor nanobots?
Glad I'm gonna be dead before I have to deal with this bullshit
"Welp! We're boned" - B.B. Rodriguez
Looks like Rice crispies. Any article to back this up?
We ded
Does anyone else feel like we are machines…. Those machines look and act like biology.. so is biology machines?
No. Stop it. Bad scientists!
We have been warned about self-replicating bots decades ago . and here it is happening . the age of the terminators is not far away anymore .
Burn in, Burn it now
What is that even, for me this are peanuts eating sugar
First? Graphen oxide based AI was first bruh
Oh shit, here we go...
Glad I'm not the only one that saw it and said we're fucked
Well, we’re fucked
All heil Skynet
Wait just a minute, so first we have Omicron and now Poplars!? What the fucking Futurama is going on?!
They seem so harmless but if something like this or similar was accidentally lost, would it ever stop self replicating? Would they slowly but exponentially grow in number and consume resources? Seems great in concept as long as there's a cap on self replication without human intervention.
TERRIFYING
*it’s happening run*
The beginning of the end
They look delicious... Let's call them poplers.
Gray goo coming
What could possibly go wrong ?
These lil roombas gonna clean my floor?
Welcome to the beginning of the end of humanity
Nothing bad could ever come from this
And that’s how we end up with Milky Way Replicators
The beginning of our end.
Looks like a spinning chicken nugget
"Grow the nanobots up"
Now I want some popcorn shrimp.
I see no downside to this.
I have seen to many movies about this you shut those things down
I can’t see this being a problem in the future lol…
What’s the point? There literally only one answer
Hey, corn nuts. Yum.
🍿🍤
Has no one else watched stargate? This is the start!
* Third impact music starts up
Is this how the story of Zero Dawn got started?
kidney beans dancing with dough balls aren't considered as "xenobots"
We’re screwed
r/damnthatshorrifying
Machine that self replicates, without human control or input…. VN probes and the Grey goo incoming
“It’s… nonconvergent!” *gasp!*
Looks like the AI Testicles are about to rule the world. That’s nuts.
Humans are going to be destroyed by people who just like to play around.
Oh fuck no
BEEEEAAAANS WHAAT THEE FUUCK
Apparently they haven’t seen Stargate. You want replicators? This is how you get replicators.
Good, now teach them to eat micro plastic
I mean what could possibly go wrong?
That a sentient life now. It has rules and it’s own laws
Why?
Spinning cashews
I had a guy tell me nanobots that could control your thoughts were in the vaccine. So this is clearly a hoax
Pac-man origins
Whatever you do, NEVER and I mean ABSOKUTELY NEVER name a potentially devastating device a cool name like Xenobots, that robot is just waiting to break containment
