I didn’t read the article, but the headline alone sounds like the premise of a 1950s sci-fi B movie.

“Mushrooms don’t really like light. Based on the difference in the intensities (of the light) you can get different functions of the robot. It will move away from the light.”

Sounds like Harris and Walz responding to the stimulus of reporter questions trying to shine light on their positions.

There was an accident in this lab and rumor has it that they created a “Mushroom Man”. Some kind of Mushroom/human chimaeran hybrid with ‘special powers’ they say. Now he travels the world seeking to improve flavors and textures in steak and soups that the world enjoys.

I’ve seen the Mushroom Man — he lives on Drury Lane.

Daleks from Dr Who.

Be worried when they use pig brains.

Sooner or later (preferably later, much, much later) they will be using human brain tissue in conjunction with micro processors and robotics to perform any task. Military nightmare for your enemies, then when the parties over, all enemies gone, look out, you’re the new game in town.

When they develop one that can recognize and kill exotic weeds I'm all in.

The energy and propulsion problem remains.

“In what must’ve felt like a Dr. Frankenstein moment,”. I think Mary Shelly would be impressed. As for me, scares the bejesus out of me.

It's about who controls the Terminators. /s
