Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the lab.

    If you didn’t read the article, don’t get too worked up - it’s a cell raised in a bath of ready-made cell organelles, which it can absorb and use, basically.

    It’s still impressive, given what the state of the art was, but don’t expect it growing on a damp spot near you anytime soon.

      sweet, autonomous hacking AI, this, and other man-made horrors beyond my comprehension!

      If I don’t get Ghost in the Shell body mods and SAO-style complete sensory immersion video games before I’m dead, this whole fucking world can burn for all I care.
