The article says U of Manchester have created a molecular robot (an assembler, I guess). Is the article’s prediction of nano factories in 20 years bs?
I’ve wanted the tech to become reality since I first heard of it years ago, but it has always seemed so distant and impossibly out of reach.

20 years is actually a little long.
The director of Googles Deep Mind project has one guiding aim in his work. He wants to create AI scientists.
At some point in the next 10 years AI's won't just be beating us at DOTA and GO, they'll be beating us at inventing technology, including nano-technology.
it's here
All of it. There are simply some technologies humans will never be competent enough to produce:
- An AI as smart as or smarter than humans
- Actually self-powered nanobots
- Real space-faring technology (not just rockets going to the upper atmosphere or unmanned probes)
- Human immortality
nice b8 m8
>Any facts I can't deal with are "bait"
I love that /pol/ created this meme. It shows how fragile both your egos and intellects are.
Will nanofactories bring about a replicator apocalypse by obsoleting all present industrial methods?
love the projection here.
did you learn from /pol/ how to be a contrarian?
doesn't matter I guess, if I'm responding the b8's been gr8
>EVERYTHING IS BAIT
>I'M AGGRESSIVELY RETARDED HURRR!!!
Boy you sure showed me!
You are right. Humans alone won't be able to create an AI that is as smart as humans. There will be an AI that will assist in that though.
>There will be an AI that will assist in that though
Nope. Humans aren't even smart enough to program AI smart enough to program smart AI. All you technozombies are going to be extremely disappointed over the next decade, assuming any of you survive.
>An AI as smart as or smarter than humans
Why not? You offer no expertise or reasoning.
>Actually self-powered nanobots
Why not? You offer no expertise or reasoning.
>Real space-faring technology (not just rockets going to the upper atmosphere or unmanned probes)
Probes and such are "real space-faring technology", anything manned is a complete waste of time and would ensure we never get anything done if we took that path.
>Human immortality
At most through shedding biology, but no one is trying to produce human immortality anyway. It is basically impossible without extreme advances (like thousands of years worth) and at that point there would be no point in retaining one's biological body.

You won't understand even if I explain, so I'll save my breath and you can continue worshipping Elon Musk.
It's possible that nanotechnology could bring the apocalypse.
Read about gray goo scenarios.
>gray goo
Never happen.
yet
I've worked with evolutive systems, and it's quite possible for errors to bring about unwanted consequences. Cancer is a side effect of evolution so you tell me.
Never. Not ever. NEVER.

Humans are nowhere fucking near as brilliant as you think.
evolution is not human
The Night's Dawn trilogy had neat nanotech. Humans could get cerebral implants of varying degrees of functions and qualities, allowing them to control their own immune systems or download new languages. Always wanted that.
Again, you're assuming you grasp things you don't. Evolution does not occur in machines with assistance.

i can't wait for this, nothing makes me happier as a brainlet than watching high IQ people watch as the dumb computer prepares to get smarter than they are and take their jobs LOL.
soon they will know how us brainlets felt in 7th grade math class LOL
I read the series. Always enjoyed Hamilton’s depictions of futuristic tech.
