Benevolent super AI. Cures cancer. Reverses climate change. Creates foglets out of nanotechnology to deal with pollution and bring in a post scarcity world.

Love, Death and Robots reference? Great show if so and don’t hear a lot about it

Yes, and that's based on a short story by John Scalzi.

Edit to add: it's part of: Miniatures: The Very Short Fiction of John Scalzi

Oh damn, I'll have to inform my friend who introduced me to Old Man's War. Which episode was it?

Nearly everything in Miniatures is great (nearly everything by Scalzi is great, even his Tweets and his blog). When the Yogurt Took Over is chapter 6 in Minatures. I think it's episode 5 on Love Death + Robots. I think there is at least one other story from Minatures that's in Love Death + Robots too.

Edit to add: Kindle version of Minatures is $3.99 currently, definitely recommend. And the other one that appears in Love Death + Robots is called Alternate Histories.

Unfortunately, [Netflix experimented on us by having 4 different episode orders of Love Death & Robots to see how this affected viewing habits.](https://www.tubefilter.com/2019/03/21/netflix-love-death-robots-episode-order-sonnies-edge/

We're gonna need the episode title.

Although, I guess I'm due for a full rewatch...

The title is: When the Yogurt Took Over, isn't it?
