This is an old article from 2024, how on earth did I miss this? Do we know if any work using arthrobots to deliver any kind of successful therapy is in development?

Thank you!

Also it’s strongly evoking memories of Tibetan bardo state! 🫣

    I searched for the least clickbaity title I could find, but they were all the same. As I noted in the thread, this is also in a controlled environment, as the article mentioned. My fascination is what may or not be happening in different, uncontrolled environments, as I also already said, especially given subjects and objects tend to change behavior with observation, and wondering if anyone knows anything about arthrobots being studied and developed to deliver medical treatments.

      It’s cool, I’m not attacking you or anything and it’s my bad if I came off that way.

      The xenobots and anthrobots described by the article are plainly alive imo so it’s weird that the takeaway is “there is a new category beyond life and death” instead of “dead cells can be repurposed to create new life.”

        I took away that they’re not “alive” in the way we typically imagine, as in some cells change behavior on their own, then self-replicate, and they’re obviously not dead. I see your point, as well.
