I didn’t even know the movie, The Blob (2nd worst movie ever) was actually a genetically created ball of yeast that decided nonstop, rapid growth was just the thing its species needed to survive. 2 Quote

I do too. I can’t remember the name of the movie but it was these slugs that would infect people and then the infected spat them into another and so on. I like b horror 1 Quote

discolé monade Posted February 10 Author Posted February 10 they watched KCFOS again. that was just weird. Quote

PhilosipherStoned Posted February 11 Posted February 11 I want to say artificial life has been done more than a few times now.... Quote
PhilosipherStoned Posted February 11 Posted February 11 (edited) I mean not to put an end to anybody's doom scrolling but scientists have had the capability for a while... The first synthetic life form was a bacterium created in 2010 by scientists at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI). The bacterium, called JCVI-syn1.0, had a synthetic genome. https://www.jcvi.org/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3878377/#:~:text=In 2010%2C staff at the,scientists may well do so. One of the limiting factors if you ask me is that THEY are human. Hell you can even factor AI into the mix but it learns off OUR knowledge, and starts to get AI down syndrome if somebody doesn't mommy it. Interesting post just saying that we are still a Far Cry from Cyberpunk if that's what you're hoping for. I am still reading though can it survive outside a lab? I'm sure the science has to be interesting and groundbreaking but that article is sooo barebones... Edited February 11 by PhilosipherStoned jcvi link doesn't link to the actual project like I thought but here's the data 1 Quote
discolé monade Posted February 11 Author Posted February 11 A major hurdle confirmed that the synthetic yeast was able to efficiently metabolize glycerol under elevated temperatures. This involved painstaking genetic debugging, employing CRISPR and other gene-editing instruments to pinpoint and fix the problems. ~~ my article It is doubtful whether it was aptly characterised as such, given that only the genome and none of the cytoplasmic structures were synthesised by scientists ~~ yours. yes artificial life was in fact viewed in 2010 however, as stated, that none of cytoplasmic structure was synthesised by scientists. 1 Quote
André Toulon Posted February 11 Posted February 11 I watched killer tomatoes the movie semi recently (within the last 8 years) and it was just as campy trashy as it was back then. Honestly didn't expect it to hold up that well 2 Quote

So in other words it's just the latest science fair winner for geneticists. 1 Quote
