When are nanomachines gonna make us immortal?
Isn't that what we're trying to do with miniaturization and AI?
>>
Need to figure out mechanosynthesis to make it really happen, to truly do nanoscale and atomically precise manufacturing. Most existing miniaturized tech is on the micro not nano scale and is made using more conventional methods.
Mechanosynthesis is something that, if it's possible at all, won't happen for a while because it's not getting the billions in r&d investment which would be needed, to conduct the real physical experiments and not just theoretical computer sims etc.

It's possible that it's being avoided because governments and big tech companies understand how dangerous it could be. For the same reasons it could cure health problems, it could also easily kill people

We already have the nanobots in are blood and they were not designed to help.
Global population below one billion is the goal, remember?

That's pretty fucking cool, maybe it's not as far off as I thought. They're not building anything complex yet but they have demonstrated that you can do it in 3D, beyond just spelling letters with atoms on a surface or placing flat layers of them

not more dangerous than agi

>spelling letters with atoms on a surface
In this paper, they're not building anything. They just demonstrated they can make 'molecular tools' on a surface that hold free radicals. That's part of what's needed for mechanosynthesis. Stay tuned, they will probably be releasing more soon. To be continued...
>>
>>16774599
It's theoretically more dangerous than AGI.
We don't know if AGI would have malicious intent toward us and do the Skynet thing or whatever.
We do know that atomically precise manufacturing would have obvious weapons applications, and could do things like enable completely clean assassinations with no evidence trails, or make arms control impossible because all you need is the raw materials and the blueprints. Like 3D printed gun proliferation but many times worse, able to quickly produce a whole high tech army's worth of weaponry pretty much out of nowhere

Nanites complete the disassembly circuit, it is infinity to all other forms of weaponry.

Anon, near term we'll be lucky if APM can produce products we can even see with an optical microscope. It'd be far easier to kill with poison than nanomachines. And killing people with nanomachines will be pretty much the same as with poison. How the fuck you gonna get them in the target any way?
>make arms control impossible
It's unlikely mechanosynthesis works at temperatures beyond really fucking cold. Buying the equipment to keep stuff really fucking cold will be a huge tell. No, you aren't getting it in your home. Grey goo is a fucking meme too
>no evidence trails
There is no way in fuck APM won't be ludicrously locked down. We're talking DRM so strong that it can't be reverse engineered without a fucking x ray laser

Life and cell biology and its "soft nanotech" manages to do molecular manufacturing at warm temps and non-vacuum type conditions.
Heat does still does put limits on it, but some lifeforms are still able to grow reasonably fast
>>
>>16774829
Mechanosynthesis is inherently different than biology. It's reliant upon putting reactants in exactly the right place. Heat interferes with this and creates errors. So it'll be limited to cold vacuum conditions. This makes it inherently safe. Despite being limited to these conditions, it'll still be immensely valuable, much in the same wave EUV lithography is valuable.

Clankers are just one tier above simulated autistic tard schizophrenics. Nanomachines will probably start to get at least some real-world medical applications in the coming decades, but small molecules are where the current best anti-aging tech is at.

There are a lot of somewhat effective strategies already from senolytics to calorie restriction mimetics, but modulating proteins from the senescence associated secretory phenotype is the big next-level emerging tech that influencers aren't really doing much of yet.

No, but Pfizer and other pharma companies did pay off governments to push their vaccines on children and young adults, who are more likely to die from adverse side effects than they are from Covid
Those in the know bought up pharma stocks and shorted ailing lockdown-hit parts of the economy
The more you know

>>16775323
There's dangerous and then there's greater or much harder to contain levels of dangerous. Commonplace car ownership doesn't mean we let everyone own personal tactical nuclear weapons, or let them keep vials full of ebola or smallpox in their fridges

Nanotech won't be equivalent to personal nuclear weapons or smallpox

Depends whose hands it's in.
Remember the exploding pager attack carried out by Israel in Lebanon last year? Imagine if you could do something like that, but the bombs don't need to be visible or knowingly smuggled into anywhere, the victims or investigators might never know how it was done or where the devices came from, and maybe they don't need to be bombs at all, they can kill their targets in more subtle surgical ways
>>
>>16775445
>depends on whose hands it's in
Mechanosynthesis is most productive at extremely cold temperatures because positioning errors go down. Less errors means less waste. Because of the need to keep things really cold, big printing factories are much more economical and productivw than home printers. There are economies of scale in cooling.
>bombs don't need to be visible or knowingly smuggled
And how is this different than conventional explosives? Why wouldn't they need to be smuggled? How do you get the bomb to the target? Nanotech isn't magic.
>kill in more subtle surgical ways
And again, how do you get it to the target? Any undectable microrobots will just get blown around by wind, so they essentially need to be delivered like poison.
>>
>>16774334

>>16775621
The delivery methods could be autonomous drones disguised as birds or insects. Something attached to and able to crawl around on surfaces, once it's been planted, can avoid getting blown around by wind
