The disease makes you allergic to nanotechnology.
NANOWNED![]()
That sounds awful. Talk about muscle loss..
Your years in the closet analogy is begging for a Matthew Broderick joke.
What if the nanobots dont know how to react? Or the disease causes an atmoic EMP effect that fries the nanobots
Do you ever think there will ever be a human vs robot war. I, Robot style.
Afterwards, we'll decide to return life to the way it was in the Middle Ages when it was safe.
Haha, my sentiments exactly. The way I understand it, nanobots will make us all sit in a closet our whole lives.
No. Artificial intelligence will be based on human intelligence from reverse engineering the human brain. It's not really an us vs them thing. Artificial intelligence will first be done by amplifying our own intelligence. We will give humans the capacity to think faster and have a vasty improved memory. The lines of biological intelligence and artificial intelligence will be blurred. Humans and robots won't be different enough to fight since both will have a lot of aspects and technology from the other.
This trend has already started. We have our tech devices that we use on a daily basis. We don't remember appointments anymore, we are reminded by our computers. We don't know peoples phone numbers like we did 15 years ago... they are programmed into our phones. We can carry around all our music with us. Almost everyone has a phone and we can talk to anyone with a couple button presses (or a spoken word). Many people don't even bother to take the blue tooth things off their ears anymore. This is much different than trying to get in contact with someone 15 years ago. We are much more dependant on narrow AI than most of us realize. Fuel injection systems, stock choices, help lines, critical military systems, controls in nuclear power plants, inventory for large businesses... all these things and many more are now the domain of AI. Cars have driven themselves with very limited human interaction from Washington DC to San Diego. The AI in the car made turns and decisions on how to drive in busy traffic from analyzing the images in real time from cameras mounted on the car.
These computers with AI are generally outside of our body but as they get smaller and smaller, we will see them integrate more with our body and start making decisions within our cells. At the point that AI will be advanced enough to want to attack anything, we will be so integrated with it that they will be our friends, and also be a part of us.
When the time comes, the Amish will rule the world.
The Earth could support a lot more people than it does right now - if natural resources, food, water and pollution weren't an issue.
And pigs could fly if they had very large, powerful fings.
WTF is this the Matrix.
We will have lots of space when high rise buildings are many times taller than they are today and there are no farms taking up land.
World War 3.Okay, so he wants to live forever.
My question is, if people start living for long long times, and we also start freezing people and bringing them back to life. Then what are we going to do when we run out of earth?
I don't want shit steak. I like having it directly from the cow. In fact I would like to pick out the cow myself.
World War 3.
So we could block out the sun and live in tin cans, sweet! Steak made from shit? Nice.
All that matrix shit is just dandy, but how much can he bench?
Ever hear about nanomanufacturing? You need a steak? Don't grow a cow and kill it. Just download the atomic recipe of the steak (a file that shows where every atom is in 3D space for a steak)... then send that file to your nanofactory and have it build it for you out of source atoms.
Where do you get these source atoms? You have the same nanofactory disassembly your garbage, your waste water, your shit, air pollution, grass clippings, dirt from your yard, basically any matter that you don't want anymore.
So why are resources and pollution a problem?
Sure sounds great right, but impossible... not really. All of the enabling technologies are already being worked on and we have already been able to place individual atoms to make small molecular objects using this exact idea. Larger objects are obviously more difficult but I have read predictions that we would have this type of technology as early as 10 years from now and have it in wide use personnal home models within a couple years of the larger industrial sized ones. This is pretty aggressive though. I have also heard anywhere from 20-50 years (and then there are the people that say it is impossible)
This is a pretty detailed summary:
