Brilliant comment—-and back to basics.

Yes, and put that compact fruit fly in silico brain into my Roomba please so that it does not get stuck under the bed.

This is the kind of embodied AI that should really worry us.

Don’t we all suspect deep skunkworks “defense” projects of these types?

Well, flies and all sort of flying bugs are very good at getting into homes and very bad at finding a way out. They stick on a closed window and can't find the open one next to it.

There's no genetic advantage to "finding a way out"! The home barrier way in is a genetic hurdle - flies that cross it are free to reproduce in an abundant environment. This calls for a "quieter" fly (a stealth fly?) who annoys the local beasts minimally - yet another genetic hurdle.
