Absolutely neat! Will they replace us or will we rearrange out DNA structure to teach our bodies to reassemble and marry with technology?

Keep in mind such threats as decapitation or cancer may disappear in the future. Perhaps our lungs can learn to inhale methane or perhaps our newly formed bionic bodies will become space ships that can fly out to Saturn or watch the eventual death of the Sun as we inhabit outer planets.

I thought it was pretty impressive – till it collapsed at the end.
Clearly we have a long way to good, but it's a good concept. I can imagine something like this would be more efficient on nano-scale.

I always figured it would be the stupid Alpha Male jocks types who destroyed humanity, but now I think it will be the nerds as they create our replacements.

Eh, the galaxy will be better off with some real intelligent beings in it.

I'm not worthy!!
I'm not worthy!!
I'm not worthy!!
I'm scum!!
I suck!!

In all seriousness, once we get done Global Warming ourselves into oblivion, this is what will replace us. It'll be a world of artificial intelligence.

I think that this vid is really frightful. But great work, I must admit.

I would laugh if the robot suddenly got up and said "Okay, who kicked me?"

Take a good look, humans – this is your replacement. Go quietly and efficiently to the processing camps when the Machines come for you.

There is a new and better intelligence coming to this planet.

i for one welcome our new self-repairing robotic masters, etc etc.

The video seems to be no longer available
