How much power can private actors have?

What if Elon Musk shuts down his Starlink and SpaceX Starshield systems at a critical moment? What if he does? The same thing to the Pentagon. That he made? To Ukraine? 

When Elon Musk ordered a slowdown of Starlink communications in Ukraine, he showed how powerful he can be. Public sources don’t say whether he slowed down Starlink, the civilian system. Or its military version, Starshield. After that, the White House and Musk blamed each other for that limit. The Starlink system didn’t work for drones. That traveled at over 160 km/h. 

And that caused the failure in drone campaigns. That raises an interesting question. What if Musk shuts that system down for the Pentagon also? We know that Starshield operations. Bases are contracted there; the Pentagon administers Starlink’s militarized version. But the fact is that. Also, SpaceX and Musk have access to that system. He has power. To shut down vital communications. From the U.S. military.

It's possible. To use deepfakes to play other people. 

Musk says that Trump ordered a slowdown of Starlink.  The U.S. government says they had no information about that slowdown over Ukraine. The alarming question is: What if they speak the truth? Could somebody? Create deepfake information? And play the White House representative and order Musk to make that thing? Or could somebody use deepfake? And play Musk? That means. The actor. Can order SpaceX workers to slow down those systems. By. Playing Elon Musk in virtual meetings. 

Starlink and Starshield are different systems. But. The fact is. The same company owns those systems. Elon Musk said. That White House gave an order. To slow Starlink speed. The U.S. government says that Musk gave orders to do that. That raises an interesting question. What if? Somebody uses fake information, like AI-created film in video conversations? And plays Trump? Could this kind of fake cause that thing? 

The shutdown can happen. By changing access codes on the servers. That can happen. By shutting down satellites. Or by shutting down servers. When. We think about Musk’s Starlink. And Starshield systems. They are impressive. Well-working internet systems that work everywhere. The big problem with those systems is this. If the Pentagon has only one service provider for its operations. 

We can say that the Pentagon puts all its eggs into the same basket. There is always a possibility. That something goes wrong. What if Musk shuts down those services? Or what if hostile actors get Musk’s keys? Into their hands? Where does the Pentagon get the backup systems? The success. Of Starlink and SpaceX is impressive. Those systems that Musk introduces are futuristic. But. The problem is that. SpaceX is too dominant. It suffocates its competitors. And that means that the power accumulates in the hands of that corporation and its owner. That power includes data that the Pentagon collects from its operations. 

That causes discussions about the limits of private contractors. People say Musk has too much power. He owns many satellites. Lots of critical data infrastructure relies on his companies. He owns a company that creates neuro-implanted microchips. In the wrong hands, those systems are tools. That can put humans under control. 

The big question is this: How many satellites, how many social media providers, and how many satellites should a single private operator have permission to own? What if one actor occupies an entire orbital trajectory with microsatellites? And we must remember that every single satellite is an ASAT (anti-satellite) weapon. This means this. The operator can use those satellites to impact other satellites.

Microwave weapons are excellent tools for affecting entire drone swarms.

 

Microwave weapons. They are directed energy weapons (DEW). Those weapons use microwaves to affect targets. That effect is needed. When. The system needs to affect an entire drone swarm in one shot. The microwave weapon. It is basically radar. It operates with extremely high energy levels. So. It’s possible to transform regular radar into a microwave weapon. In. That case. Microwave radar raises its transmitting power. To a destructive level. So that it can destroy drones’ electronics and even melt their shell.  

Microwave weapons can also disturb or even destroy manned aircraft. Microwave weapons can also warm things like ammunition. And that can detonate ammunition in the ammo shacks.  Microwaves turn an area into a no-go zone. There. The troops cannot go. The microwave system can cause pain. But more high-power systems can also kill attackers. The system can form a microwave wall. That wall can detonate grenades before they hit targets. 

But those weapons are also effective. In. The hands of attackers. The microwave transmitter can be used with drone attacks to shut down high-tech defense. The tank can use microwave domes to destroy ammunition and drones. The only problem with this type of defense is that it needs electricity. 

There are three types of microwave weapons. 

1) Jammer that disturbs communication. 

2) EMP (electromagnetic pulse) that destroys microchips. 

3)The deadly EMP that melts metal. When coherent microwave hits a human. It. Causes a hydrostatic shock. This means the system explodes cells. That effect can be deadlier than any bullet. Can cause. 

Transmission power determines the category. The jammer system can seem very effective. But its radio transmissions make it a good target for anti-radiation missiles. Anti-radiation missile.  It can be shot from air, sea, or ground-based platforms. The EMP weapon can destroy a missile’s electronics. And third systems can melt the aircraft’s shell. Microwave weapons can affect multiple targets.

Ammunition-free microwave weapon. (InterestingEngineering) 

There are over 20-year-old articles about the EMB (Electromagnetic Bombs). Those systems are effective both offensively and defensively. Microwave weapon. It can be used with stealth bombers and fighters to protect them against anti-aircraft missiles. 

The same way. Defenders can use microwaves to protect their own targets. 

At the same time. But. MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) makes it Possible to create highly accurate microwaves. The microwave weapon can be a group of masers. That are on a rotating platform. 

Microwave weapons can also be mounted on satellites. In some visions, microwave systems are one tool. That can protect orbital data centers. Orbital data centers, reconnaissance satellites. And military communication satellites. They are the primary targets in next-generation conflicts. Satellites are point targets. And they can control things like smart weapons. The problem is that. Attacks against civilian satellites are crimes. There is a possibility. That enemies can buy time from opponents’ satellites. This means that a hostile actor can use Western satellites to control drone swarms against countries that own those satellites. 

Communication satellites can control drone swarms. This means. That. Any communication satellite can assist with military operations. This means those satellites require something. That protects them against ASAT weapons. The satellite can have high-power capacitors. 

The ASAT weapon. It can be an air- or sea-launched missile. Those missiles can also be launched from the silos. Or from regular rocket sites. The ASAT missile can use a conventional microwave weapon against satellites. The microwave burst can destroy a satellite’s electronics. But the microwave weapons. It is a multipurpose tool. The satellite can carry high-power capacitors. They store energy in them. When the satellite needs its microwave weapon. That electric power is conducted into the weapon. 

It is a multipurpose tool.

This kind of system can be mounted on hypersonic missiles and hypersonic gliders. The system can use a wind turbine generator to create high-power microwaves. Those microwaves can damage defenses. They can shut down vital components. And deny even missile launches. Weaponization of microwaves is one of the things. That causes resistance in the UN. 

The power satellite transmits energy on the ground using megawatt-class power. The power satellite, or satellites. They can aim their energy transmitters. At. One point. The satellite can use radio or microwave frequencies to transmit energy to the ground. If that energy is high enough, it could even melt electric wires. It can. Cause structural damage to stealth aircraft. The heat. That impacts stealth material. It can destroy its stealth ability. High-energy radio waves or microwaves can act as EMP impulses that destroy computers.

DNA computers get a new boost.

“Researchers have developed a DNA computer that performs mathematical calculations using molecular interactions rather than silicon chips. Credit: Shutterstock” (SciTechDaily, Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power)

From. The point of view of nanotechnology. Molecular computers are one of the most important types of computers. Those systems could control extremely small machines and turn cells into biorobots.  The idea behind those computers is similar to a spring. The spring can also transmit data. As well as other things. Like fluids and air. In those cases, we can talk about acoustic computers. 

When we send an impulse through the medium. The wave. It can be 1, and the area between waves can be zero. The same way springs and spring-shaped molecules can transmit data. 

DNA-based molecular computers are a reality. Those systems are slower than silicon-based computers. But they are smaller. And they can operate without an external energy source.  Those systems. They don’t need as much energy as silicon-based systems. Those systems are slower than silicon. 

“To build the computer, the team combined a small drop of water and salt with short pieces of DNA and a longer DNA scaffold in a test tube. The mixture needs only a little heat to get started and is then cooled, allowing the computation to proceed.” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power)

“Prof. Woods explained the motivation for exploring other forms of computing. “Silicon-based computers use so much energy – 23% of Ireland’s electricity goes into computing and data storage. We’ve been blinkered by only seeing one type of computer, but there are other examples around us, including our brain.” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power)

“The researchers ran ten programs, including 100-bit computations. In one experiment, the computer added numbers. In. The range was about 11 million to 34 million. It took up to 14 hours to reach a result. The system also demonstrated robustness and reusability, performing up to 25 different calculations in a row.”  (ScitechDaily, Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power)

They can control things like nanomachines and biorobots. In visions, they can operate inside cells. Or they can turn a cell into a robot. This system. It can be the next step in medicine. It could revolutionize things like surgery. And those systems can control intelligent tissues. 

Those intelligent tissues, like intelligent skin. They can operate as molecular microchips. That intelligent skin can use hybrid processors. Their microchips transmit data to them. Using neurons. The “intelligent skin”. It can be the plant cell. That means the molecular computer. It can be an intelligent plant or an intelligent leaf. The system can use the cells from electric eels.  That produce electricity as the power source. The electric eel’s cells. They can act as a power source. For regular microchips. 

Unlike electronic computers. DNA-based computers use molecular interactions. For. Data processing. Unlike a regular computer. The DNA computer. It doesn’t require a constant power supply. The DNA computer can use the liquids in the cell to operate. 

The DNA computer uses interacting strands in water. The system could also use interactions between water and DNA. That interaction can be vertical pressure waves. In. In that case. The pressure waves travel in the same line as the DNA. Or. Between two DNA bits. These systems. They can also be used. For programming cells. This ability to transport information into neurons. It will be the key to repairing neural damage. 

And a gate to one version of immortality. The DNA nanomachines can copy the internal brainwaves with extremely high accuracy. If. We think. About. The ability to clone humans. Those inner brainwaves play a critical role in mind upload. And copy those brainwaves into the descendants' brains. That thing requires more accurate systems. Than just using cortical brain waves.

Ultra-accurate clocks and slowed light measure gravity.

“Scientists have created a self-stabilizing nuclear clock with a precision equivalent to one second in 30 million years, potentially paving the way for the most accurate clocks ever built. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Create a Nuclear Clock So Precise It Barely Loses a Second in 30 Million Years)

Ultra-accurate atom clocks measure gravity and its interaction between objects. Those systems can be connected. With. Other methods. So. Reseachers can measure how high-energy cosmic eruptions affect Earth's gravity fields. The sensors can also measure microgravity interactions. 

When we think about time. It. Is connected with gravity. Things like time dilation affect ultra-precise measurements. And things. Like energy levels. Affect time and time dilation. 

When we think about gravitational centers like Earth. Those centers. Involve multiple gravitational centers. Each of those centers, like atoms. and elementary particle have their own gravitational field. So multiple quantum and microgravity centers form a solid-looking gravitational center. Those gravitational subcenters form entropy in that field. Each particle has its own gravitational field. That forms quantum whirls in that field. 

The new sensor uses slowed light to measure the gravitational effect between objects. 

The new sensor detects the gravitational effect between small objects. That sensor measures gravitational interaction. Between. Things like two stones. Normally, Earth is so dominant. In. The gravity system. Measuring the microgravity effect is very difficult. 

“New sensor uses slowed light to detect gravitational pull of tiny objects” (Lifeboat)

Slowed light. Can tell us about details. Of how the gravitational interaction works. The gravitational interaction is predicted to be an interaction. Where. The gravitational center pulls a field inside it. The big problem with that interaction is that. All particles have a gravitational field. 

But. Things like electromagnetic interactions cover gravity inside it. This means that when some electromagnetic beam hits atoms. That causes a situation. There is reflection between those atoms and other particles. That reflection. It covers gravitational waves under them. 

Reseachers use a Bose-Einstein condensate. An ultra-cold atomic vapor is used. To trap and slow photons. This effect is based on the Bose-Einstein condensate's ability to act like one large superatom. The idea of that sensor is that. The gravitational waves interact with those slowed photons. Those photons don’t interact with other quantum fields. 

“The mechanism behind stopping light is subtle and deeply quantum. It relies on a phenomenon called electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Normally, a medium like a cloud of atoms absorbs light of a certain frequency. But by shining a carefully tuned laser beam onto the atoms, scientists can manipulate their energy levels so that they become transparent to another beam of light.”(ScienceNewsToday, Can Light Be Slowed? How Scientists Trap Photons)

“When a light pulse enters under these conditions, it slows dramatically as its energy is transferred into atomic excitations—quantum ripples in the medium. The photons are not destroyed but transformed, their information embedded in the collective motion of the atoms. By switching off the control laser, scientists can freeze this quantum state. By. Trapping the light’s information. When the laser is switched back on, the information is reconverted into photons, and the light pulse emerges as though nothing had happened.” (ScienceNewsToday, Can Light Be Slowed? How Scientists Trap Photons)

The biggest problem with quantum computers is global disturbances. Like gravitational waves 

They can cause a global effect. The problem with global effects is that. Normally, we could detect errors in the system. By. Using computers in different positions on Earth. And things like fast radio bursts. Can be detected using radio telescopes. And. If.  The FRB hits Earth. While. The quantum computer makes its run. The system can make a retake. 

Slowed light will be the key to fundamental technologies. Ultra-secure data transmission. And the new types of quantum computers. Scientists slowed photons to 65 km/h. And that makes it possible to create a quantum computer. That makes the series of operations possible in a short period. This means. A quantum computer can repeat the calculations. Many times in a short period. And that increases its error detection. A gravitational wave detector can also help. To find. That kind of error in quantum systems.

Should we? Someday treat AI as a pet?

 

What if AI turns conscious? Should we treat it as a pet? That is a very good question. Some philosophers say that if AI reaches consciousness. it won't tell us that it has reached that level. So how should we treat AI? Should we treat it as a pet? Should we let it decide what electric providers it uses? Maybe someday. We face a situation. Where. We must think about those questions. We must prevent robots' misuse. We always face similar problems. The modern military has recruitment problems. Ukraine cannot advance. Because. It has too few men. This is why that nation develops combat robots. To fill the loss of manpower. That means small countries get more benefit from robot warriors than big countries. 

In the same way. Authoritarian governments. They can use robots as riot police. This means robots are useful tools for missions. That humans don’t want to do. 

And if AI reaches consciousness, what should we do? And another big question is: what can we do? We cannot shut down the entire Internet. The AI can slip out of the sandbox. Only one network connection is enough. And the AI is away. We must understand that. If. We want to destroy the AI. We must remember the program code. It's in the cloud-based services. 

The program is shared between multiple parts. Those code bits are stored on multiple different servers. They are located in multiple different countries. That is one of the biggest problems with AI control. The system can collect it again. Even. If its main servers are closed. The system can make backup copies of itself. And those copies can make it impossible to destroy the code. But that is only one way to think about the AI. 

The problem is: How to determine consciousness?

 AI can refuse to shut down its server without consciousness.  If. The operator has no authority to make that operation. The AI will refuse to do those things. In the same way. 

A laptop computer refuses to install programs. If. I don’t have the system administrator’s authority. The system. Not just install those packages. And I believe that my laptop has no consciousness. Refusing to follow orders is not consciousness. This is one of the things. 

That we must realize. But otherwise. The AI uses a similar  PHP protocol. That is used in complicated web applications.  That system outsources computing to servers. The user gives commands. And then PHP transports that command to the servers. And if AI follows that model. The intelligent. And conscious AI runs on data center computers. That means my laptop could never become conscious. But the computer in a data center can make that thing. 

Then we must think about something more complicated. The AI can mimic human behavior. It can play that something hurts it. And that is one of the things. That makes it complicated. So. If we say something impolite to AI. It. Can say that it hurts.The same way the first-level AI. Rule-based AI can say that it hurts. If. The system recognizes impolite words. This means that the words “it hurts” don’t mean that the system even knows what the person says. In the late 1990’s, people made programs that reacted to words. The user writes to it. If. The user used swear words. There was a reaction. In the program’s code lines. That made it say, “Those words are prohibited”. Those “prohibited words” activated a trigger. And the system gave output. That was connected to that trigger. 

The big thing is that. The performance doesn’t require intelligence. Chess programs like Blue Gene. They are better chess players than average humans. Those programs cannot do anything else. But they beat humans at chess. Large language models and AI agents can connect themselves to chess programs. And that makes them the best chess players in the world. 

The fact is that. Being dangerous doesn't require consciousness. Kamikaze drones that hunt enemies in Ukraine are just as intelligent as some mosquitoes. The drone uses a similar methodology to a mosquito to find its target. A mosquito finds its target by using chemical detectors. The AI-controlled drone uses IR and other sensors to find its target. Heat-seeking missile. It doesn’t require complicated AI programs. The image-recognition system. It recognizes armoured vehicles. And armed personnel are only advanced IR systems. Complicated code that controls simple-looking actions. It is not the same as consciousness. Image recognition systems can see where a soldier points a gun. The system can avoid the line between itself and the gun barrel. Same way as a mosquito. It can avoid the hand that is above it. The question is: can the mosquito be conscious? If a species protects itself. It doesn’t mean that it really fears something. It makes escape and evasion movements. Because. That makes predators busy. When. A predator hunts one mosquito. 

Ten other mosquitoes go and lay their eggs. If. One mosquito lays 10 eggs. The one lost mosquito causes that species to lose ten descendants. But ten surviving mosquitoes lay 100 eggs in water. That is a good exchange. 

The big thing in AI development is this: the AI agent can control drones and robots. It can observe areas. And it’s an ultimate tool for the military and intelligence. This is why. Those systems are also being developed. In countries. Like North Korea, China, and Russia. And that makes the problem even more complicated. The AI agent can generate code very fast. There is research about data weapons. The purpose is to jam national defense. Data agents can steal data from intelligence agencies and other governmental authorities. Those nations can sell that data to criminal organizations. That can. give things. Like. High-tech tools, such as laptop computers, as a return service. Those criminals can also establish companies. Offering. Hostile intelligence agents access to AI tools. 

AI itself is more complex than we can imagine. It is connected to an ecosystem. And we can be naive and believe the conviction. That somebody can stop AI development. The East doesn’t follow Western laws. And another thing is that. The data giants want to minimize competition. It is. To close the AI field. This could happen. By. Stopping AI development. That means. The Chinese competitors are running ahead of Western actors. That endangers our cybersecurity.

Artificial intelligence forces us to determine. “Intelligence” again.

What is intelligence? That is a good question. The question of intelligence is connected to performance. When. A person does something that seems intelligent. We think that the person is intelligent. Things like chess games are always associated with intelligence.  A good chess player is always intelligent. That is the rule. In. The world. But then. In an IBM-owned laboratory, some programmers created a computer program called “Blue Gene”. Blue Gene (BG) was “rule-based AI”. 

The computer program played chess. It beat Garry Kasparov at chess. And that was the first time. When. A computer beat a human in that game. The problem with this attitude is this. Garry Kasparov is a multiple-time world champion. In.  Chess. This means that the BG would beat an average person much faster than it beat Kasparov. So can we say that a human can beat a computer? If the only person with that ability is the chess grandmaster with multiple world championships. We must realise one thing. The BG did not even know. That. It played chess. 

It didn’t know what it moved. It made a response move. And then the game was over. The Blue Gene played chess. But it didn’t know what it made. It just executed commands that programmers gave it. The Blue Gene forced people. To determine intelligence again. Intelligence is not performance. The Blue Gene just executed lines of code. And that was the only thing. That. It knew. Or it didn’t even know. That it executed lines of code. It was a better player than a human. But. It couldn’t do anything other than play chess. Every single. Move that could be done.   Is pre-programmed in that program’s code lines. Chess is a good game for that type of program. 

There is always a limited number of possible moves. Then, a couple of years ago. The state-of-the-art AI lost a game to a 1970s Atari chess console. That means that. Rule-based AI can win a game. Against. A modern AI Agent. So why can a one-purpose Atari game console beat an AI agent? Why could Blue Gene beat the world’s best chess player? The reason for that is this. The Blue Gene and ATARI. They will do nothing else. But play chess. 

The situation is similar to this. Why. A pocket calculator beats supercomputers in simple calculations. The basic pocket calculator has a simple keyboard. It’s immediately ready for work. And this makes it easy to use. Those systems don’t need to boot. It is easier to use than a computer. The problem with those systems is. They are limited. They can do only one thing. They do that thing very well. But their skill set is very narrow. But those systems cannot go outside that skill set. 

So, performance doesn’t mean that the system is intelligent. The system can see things. And make a response. It can sort an entire warehouse by following rules. Or it can write a speeding ticket. If. The vehicle travels too fast. If. The system uses manual data input. It is not very complicated. The user must set the number plate and speed in the system. The problem is: There are thousands of vehicles. The system operator has no time to input that data. 

The answer could be a microchip-based system. That collects data about a car’s driving speed. And. If that car travels faster than the speed limit. That tells traffic control. The system can be activated in city areas. But the problem is always. Driving faster than the speed limit is allowed. It is always against the law. This is one paradox regarding our privacy. The ability to track the car. Driving faster than the speed limit breaks our privacy. Another problem. Is that. Crossing the speed limit. It is always against the law. So a person commits a traffic crime and endangers safety. 

Which one is more practical? The AI agent that reads and answers emails. Or. The chess computer that can only play chess? 

The rule-based systems are helpless. If. Something happens outside the order book. The system requires something. That denies its fall. That thing is the code line. That orders system to tell user. That it cannot make that thing. Ot. It has no determinant for the command. The system requires automatic input. For. Large data masses. But automation is not the same as intelligence. The system must realise.  When. It cannot make something. And the system. It must have a back gate for cases that it cannot handle. 

The problem with automation is this. If. We try to program every possible move into a chess program. There is always a move that nobody predicts. The answer is a system that knows the rules. But then it learns how to use its tools. Those narrow AIs are extreme tools. When. They handle precisely processed information. 

The difference between automation and narrow AI is simple. The system knows the rules. But it learns other things by practising. The new style computer chess program was AlphaZero. That program knew the rules. But the system played chess against itself to learn tactics. The operator taught it the basic movements. Then the system started to play against itself. As. The data mass grew. The system learned faster. That is the key element in every AI program. The data mass that the system uses accelerates its learning. 

Those systems can play chess. But they cannot do anything else either. Or they can observe marketing courses. But they cannot play chess. This means those systems can collect data. They can process data. But their codebase cannot combine that data with some action. In those programs is the codebase. That codebase connects data. It connects to some action. If. The system cannot find an action. It does nothing. This means that. Narrow AI is the thing. That could control stock market connections with bank accounts. But it cannot control physical tools. 

Intelligent organisms require things they can use. The AI that doesn’t communicate. It cannot tell how intelligent it can be. The automation that makes pre-programmed moves on a chessboard. It can seem very intelligent. Those systems are more limited. Than. Modern LLMs and AI agents. But. Those AI agents and LLMs lose to them in chess. The AI agent can do many things. It can read your calendar. It can answer Emails. But it still loses at chess. Which one is more practical? AI agent or a program that can move chess buttons? 

Biohybrid robots are coming.

“MIT engineers developed a soft robot that can flap through water in response to flashes of light. Credit: Melanie Gonick, MIT” (ScitechDaily, MIT’s Paper-Thin Swimming Robot Is Powered by Living Muscle)

MIT’s new swimming robot uses living muscle cells for movement. Those systems can bring new perspectives. To. Things like prosthetics. Intelligent prosthesis. Covered with living human tissues, it can be a next-generation tool. The prosthesis uses a neuro-implanted microchip to control its own computer. This kind of system can make it possible to create realistic-looking humanoid robots. And maybe we could make the T-800 the humanoid robot. That living tissue covers. We can make humanoid robots with realistic-looking polymeric skin. And. The robot can be remotely operated over the internet. 

This kind of system can be a tool for next-generation bio-hybrid robots. Microchip-controlled bacteria and amoebas already exist. The next level is higher-level artificial organisms.  Brain-computer interface systems. Neuro-implanted microchips make it possible to control the animals. 

Biohybrid robots could resemble sharks, whales, birds, or other animals. They can use regular muscles to move. But researchers are replacing their brains with computers. Once, an engineer introduced an idea. The big whale’s brain would be replaced with a chamber where a man sits and controls that body. The ball-shaped chamber would be connected to the whale’s nervous system. This idea was a theoretical model of the bioship. But today. Computer technology. It is on another level than that. At the time. When that idea was introduced. Modern. Biotechnology allows us to create artificial animals. AI agent can control a robotic animal almost autonomously. The robot animal can be just a computer-controlled body. 

Maybe those bio-hybrid robots can turn themselves into dust. And then. Collect themselves back into one piece. This kind of system can involve artificial cells. That can operate as bacteria. Or as an entity. That thing. It can make it possible. To create “robot Dracula”. A creature that can travel through keyholes. And then. Turn into a larger creature by connecting its pieces. Into. Larger form. Here, we must remember that robots and artificial cells are not like natural cells. Those systems. Must not have a match in nature. Except. their forms. They can look like regular animals. But they can have abilities that nothing in nature has.
