Xenobot, a new kind of programmable organism (wired.com)

I didn't see the story mention whether there is a signal triggering movements or these things are preprogrammed for certain movements.

Are you a fan of Alien(s)? The first thought that popped up when I read Xenobot is Xenomorph.

Perhaps your subconscious is worried about it's potential when it's inevitably weaponized.

I agree. This is one of those things that feels like real science fiction. It feels like the researchers are playing God with parts that they have no idea how they work.

I think I'm in favor of this work, but it is alarming.

Perhaps you subconsciously misread "programmable orgasm".

Haha same, small world.
