Idiot scientist develops metallic "cells" - evidently hasn't seen Terminator II I think the lunacy of this idea is self-evident. While the prudent among us are preparing for Z-Day, I'm really not sure about how to defend myself from a swarm of metallic nano-creatures that will consume all in their path.
Grey goo scenarios really only have one possible survival strategy - be ready to upload to the nano-mass as they slowly consume you.
How exactly do I accomplish that? I've yet to find a company that offers a neural-socket installation. Perhaps there's a wireless option?
That is awesome, but at the same time I'm really annoyed he gets credit for disproving that all life has to be carbon based when I've been saying that for ages. But I guess he has "evidence" and stuff.
I was thinking "that's pretty cool" until it got to the self replicating bit, then it got a touch "ooooookay probably not a good plan."
At a guess, water with metallic salts. You just have to hope that by the time they've got to you they've evolved a comprehension of the human brain. You also kind of have to hope that they're not needlessly cruel and decide not to leave you in virtual agony.
