Re: Best Programming language for AI in Nanobots


>Still, it is NOT NECESSARY to design nanobots for self-replication.

Well there is too much here to cover so I would like to concentrate on
this point.

I am very certain that though some nanobots may not have to reproduce
to do their jobs a large number will and nanotechnology will require
some degree of reproduction to be truely revolutionary.

Ofcource nano-circuits could be produced industrially and blow the roof
off Moore's Law, or a specialised nanobot unit could make certain
repairs to a heart, but making one of these tiny things is going to be
expensive, and the amount of work a nanobot will be able to do will be
rather small by definition.

As for non-replication designs, they would be only significantly more
risky than micro-designs and would require only a certain amount more
testing before an insurance company would back a firms effort to use
them. But the energy levels need to create a tiny thing that can only
do a little amont of total work makes replication obvious and
inevitable.

Self replication will be necessary for thier use in any heavy
industrial lifting. For example I would want to use nanobots to clean
up pollution, recycle waste material, collect energy, or remove cancer
cells and in order to get this I will need to have a lot and get a lot
more when I want it. When I need trillions of something I don't want
to have to buy them, I want them to make themselves, every
nano-scenario I have read assumes this.
