We can track the progress of nanotechnology, since it moves slowly compared to an asteroid or a pandemic. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3507025&forum_id=2#32489750) |

How do you know the definition describes anything that is or will be? |

Date: January 29th, 2017 12:27 PM Author: violent juggernaut nope. acknowledging expert authority.
BTW, this little point--> acknowledging that experts know more than us vs the claim that that is "arguing from authority" is a tension that's at the heart of a lot of anti-science today. It's a point that needs further education in the schools. |

Date: January 29th, 2017 1:32 PM Author: Rose Violent Parlor I think if you asked most people talking about the dangers of self-replicating nanotechnology, they would tell you that it is likely to arise sometime after the creation of artificial general intelligence. the technical obstacles are very large so it is not an immediate threat, but it could plausibly be created by super-human intelligence in a very short time frame with little warning.

|
Date: January 29th, 2017 1:29 PM Author: cracking bearded cuckold Probably in correct order (at least if you broaden "virus" to "disease" or something.)
But the first two would not likely destroy humanity entirely. Malicious AI could do it thoroughly, easily. |
