This is amazing and at the same time, the potential for harm, is staggering. Consider a device that releases a billion of these critters into a population center, they subsist on organic matter, and they make no distinction between the types of organic matter they consider food; or maybe they are programmed to seek specific types of organic matter. I am certain the military wouldn't have an interest in this tech. Anyway, everyone have a nice day!
Fascinating. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
That's a beautiful relationship!
The happy music lets you know everything will be perfectly fine!
There have been such a small amount of videos done about them lately, im dying to know what progress they have made
What is interesting is that they say this will not be an issue yet we just saw the cells self evolving in real life to something we have no idea what it would be. Even trying to kill it and it will heal itself is mind blowing.
Question "what should we tell all the scientists making stuff like this to take limits and regulations on xenobots in years to come so they won't a deadly cell threat to other living cells, but become the grey goo scenario we're all secretly terrified about"? I even in both xenobots and/or nanobots the possibility is massively low or even to the point is impossible, but it's really something even they need to think about so things go out of hand or even just become deadly in the future
A “Ten Commandments” perhaps?
This is tech. Nukes are tech. Regulation may only delay the inevitable... Does that mean we stay dumb? HELL NAWW. Life will prevail no matter what. We need tech to prevail through crises.
Nicely done! Regards from Baltimore.
As a scientist, what would be the application of generative AIs like Bluewillow in your field of study?
Why are you asking on RUclips, when you already know the answer.
Doug,
do you realize your working toward building your own replacement??‽
Amazing. Love the teams work
Excellent video! Congratulations for a work well done.
had an idea of using bio tech to display information on a screen on wrist and be powered from the body
I have never thought humans have reached the points of creating life
Pregnancy wasn’t one way?
@@BloodtypeTHC
I'm guessing pregnancy isn't seen as "creating life" because we're not manually meddling with the development and growth of the fetus or the zygote prior to this. We just have "know" another person, wait some months, and that's it.
I heard Chinese men make babies from a sick person
This is modified life
The religious seem to be absolutely afraid of every scientific progress whereas "Playing God*" can refer to all medicines... cures... pain suppressants... and so forth.
every?? citations please. hundreds. (I'll settle for a dozen - knowing that you can't muster even that). or just shut up with the hysterical hyperbole
Their first problem “the religious” have is that they superstitiously believe in an imaginary deity.
Not all....I'm religious, not Churchy. All of these are discoveries, not inventions. The possibilities have always been there right from the very beginning of time! How you use it is what matters ultimately.
In his magnum opus, 'Rendezvous with Rama', Arthur C Clarke once wrote of 'biots'- biological robots. It's great to see where we universal constructors are heading. This is beautiful and exciting- and when in love, you just want to tell the world (to paraphrase Carl Sagan). Science is awesome!
Xenobot + A.I. + Biomechanics in soft robotics + Quantum Application + Synthetic Biology with applied Biomimetics is a total equation for human extinction :) ! Isn't amazing ?
I wonder what would happen if you give one of the frogs a dose of xenobots. If they can reproduce inside the frog with the frog cells it could be a real danger.
Imagine this thing mutating to consume other cells...
they cant
He said they did, didnt he?
I wonder if they used an image generator like Bluewillow to visualize the design. Would have been super helpful.
7:14 as do galaxies, stars, planets - pattern exists up + down human understanding
When do the stem cells "come alive"? Like start moving and being able to do tasks? Do they need to get activated?
They come alive when they grow into an active cell full of energy out of the lipid reservoir they had.
A nightmare!!! When this tech is weaponized, what then?
Then we make a shield been doing it for thousands of years.
Only a nightmare for the irrational mind.

Curiosity killed the cat.
I been fallowing this guy's works...
... Anyone wondering, these things are not genetically engineered nor sliced, diced and mutated into this...
... it's a new mechanism this guy(him) been researching called bioelectric intercelular networks, wich is a newly discovered epigenetic mechanism with the pourpouse of organising cells into morphological biology.
Awesome
This is incredible 🎉🎉🎉
Google Deepmind should join this effort!
For those who saw stargate... The replicators are coming! 🤣
Protocell research is also coming to the forefront we might be able to synthesize organism from nothing
We are living in a nefarious world where highly fluid ethics are spinning out of controle already. Why should we not do infarious things with this discovery? Of course we will.
Xenobots, xenomorphs, does it ring a bell?
They're not robots...they are modified cells
Remove the necessity of robots being made of metal.
Es una maravillosa conquista de la audacia de la mente humana. ¡Ojalá puedan mentener este increíble descubrimiento al reguardo de intencione non santas
This end well 😂
Perhaps it could have the ability to zombify an aggressive enemy force or possibly consume it completely. The development of such a thing could have restrictions, but that doesn't stop a private endeavor to create such a thing. As evolution goes on, mankind may possibly create its own destruction.
T-1000, liquid metal.
My first intuition is I feel like this is just wrong. I’m open to counter points because I do see how there’s potential to help many people in this kind of technology. However, I think we can all agree all life is sacred and we should not be mutating organisms for our own curiosity and benefit
What muttion are you thalking abou...
... They still have human gene...
...their genes are intact...
...all that has changed is the bioelectric programing that michael levin has been researching in the first place.
17:40 And yet, your very experiments prove otherwise! You cannot escape the intelligent design “paradox,” this is why it seems like a “puzzle” to you, when in fact, the puzzle has been solved millennia ago.
Its just what predators built xenomorph for there games god save us
Mad scientists
Seems very interesting but if they are injected into a human body how do you get them out once they've done with what they are supposed to do?
Not sure the ultimate goal is to just be used as medicine in the human body but I'm guessing in your scenario unless our body provides resources for energy or replication I'd imagine they'd die and get transported out like other dead tissue in our body through immune response or just not having energy source and starving over time. The video has a segment talking about replication of these early examples via more frog stem cells provided externally.
What if they were made from human cells, engineered to attack a parasite that normally invades human immune systems? Like say malaria‽ Why would you want them to leave your body especially if you lived in a tropical region? Would want them to live as long as possible you just don't want uncontrolled replication because that would be a tumor. And if your parasite eating xenobots got cancer it would be the same as if you got cancer, but because they'd be well characterized and known (probably requiring some kind of Killswitch just to get medically approved) that would make a Xenobot cancer that easy to cure!
At 1mm I think they might need the diameter needles I received as a kid in the late 60s for multiple blood transfusions after a severe post operative hemorrhage.
( Why I laugh off the little 'pricks' given nowadays )
( I haven't watched the vid in its entirety yet, so don't know the 'Ethic's board' review issues if any. Let these emoticons describe how I feel right now 🤔🤨)
Nanomachines son
What could possibly go wrong🤪
So once we know how to remote controle these we can do Anything, right? I`m sure WEF buys this for the good of themselves and then of course critical toungs will be silenced
Are we ethics? Should we ask about it. What is the ethical explanation about using frog embrios to build up sculptures created by AI? Do we really needs these robots in a scenario (Real world) in biotechnology that you can deliver "genetic corrections " by particles? The question remains: should we do it? How far Joseph Mengele went to show what human knowledge could be enhanced because he did these experiments. How far is going people out lab to change the environment by applying Darwin AI theory? We need to use knowledge wizely
At this point I can't take anybody wearing a mask seriously..
1:33 ps those are alveoli or what turns air into usable oxygen and puts it in blood that we use
ps i learned how to lungs actually work about a moth ago oh yeah im 18 and graduated at 17 so yeah do with that what you will, i learned that the lungs arent just empty
Its a tumor
Keep at it. We'll need AI to genetically adapt ourselves to the hotter, wetter environment we're creating. Think of the savings on AC alone! Savings to the planet I mean.
Skin cells with chlorophyll and mitochondria that can utilize it for instance.
why is this so funny?
Nerds aren't very good at explaining things. I still don't really understand what these are or how they have potential to do anything.
😮
You can not play God in any way,as for as smart as you guys are, you are Helping, God.
So you can say, God is pleased we are helping God we are helping people answering prayers; that have been prayed before any of us were ever born.This is why we are on this incredible journey because of prayers of the past are the interests of today. So you now can say we are helping God in great ways and apologize for taking so long and every day your lazy and coin the term playing God for if not then now you know you are helping God and his people. Do always your best efforts everyday and you know what offspring that have been blessed by God to outperform you with ease no different than kids that have never been taught to draw and they can without one lesson.Thanks and have great outcomes and good times we are always looking forward to life that much better don't forget that!
Our abilities and potentials so exceed our wisdom, it becomes just a matter of time before it all comes crashing down from some small oversight! I understand the interest in this kind of research, but the planet is burning up and all our energies should be in solving that and related issues IMO!
Imagine your existence was ACCIDENTALLY created by creatures who doesn't know why you must live, who doesn't know the purpose of your life... and you realize that your life is short and you WILL NOT exist anymore... FOREVER...
F all technology decels. Keep talking to your God in your basement and let others push the boundaries of existence. What if Godhood is our destiny... Nobody can stop science.😂❤
