Does anyone else think the jellyfish looks like a Von Neumann probe?


Von Neumann probes are essentially self replicating space probes that could search for minerals/resources from other planetary systems to harvest. They use the materials to self replicate and spread out even further across the galaxy. Theoretically they can even be seen as “life” similar to bacteria and may even compete amongst each other ther for resources in distant planetary systems (depending on how advanced their AI is). I started looking up references for what such a probe could look like and I got a couple that seemed to look similar. One is from Star Wars (Viper Probe Droid) and the other is from an article about possible probe configurations.
