Then think about the internals, the subtleties of cellular matrices. It's as beautiful as processor manufacturing, if not more, and right before your eyes all around.

I laugh yellow~ when people dream of robotics.. when I see an annoying mosquito, I look at how thin all this is and yet it lives, flies, perceive the world quite a bit ...

To an extent I think the future will just be the same old past except we'll now understand nature a bit more. I hope so.

My favourite for this are South American tillandsia. They have no roots. They just sit on a tree branch and eat air.

It’s called a god complex? But the pragmatic reasoning is that what we build we can control more so than what nature has evolved. If for example, I can build a robot to pick up my trash can and walk it down to the street once a week and it’ll self heal all the wear and tear that is pretty nice.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

There are enormous areas of research built around adapting the already-existing self-assemblers to make new things.

There's a difference in knowing how to use a TV and knowing how to design and manufacture a TV.

Or a difference between Jesse Pinkman and Walter White.

I guess we don't need to stretch this joke too far.

Remember his name ?

I always thought that the limit of cyber/ai if eco-friendly survival, self-repair to an extent and reproduction was factored in would be homosapiens.exe
