What if while trying to create the perfect robot, we accidently spawn a race of self-replication nano-bots, that learned to instantly adapt to it's surrounding and have deadly adaptions. As well as, improve their imperfections every second. Until PERFECTION?
 
kind of a limit thing. They can continually improve and mathmatically they will reach perfection.....somewhere around time=infinity.

Also, if this stuff interests you. Read Michael Crichton's new book "Prey". Good read...FULL of bad science in some places (actually good science taken to an extreme that could never actually be reached). But what a really fun and cool book. will probably be a movie one day.

Kinda stated it pretty good there. They can only improve themselves so much before their constant need to imporve themselves conflicts with the fact that they can't possibly more. Then the question arisis that will they eventually harm themselves, a sort of a reverse cycle just so they can continue to proceed with their only desire and job: to improve and heal themselves

i think he stated they were programmed to evolve towards perfection, well, okay, a freak accident started the evolution, but he still stated they evolve
 
that doesn't mean tey'll continue evolving once they understand there is no point in doing so

This is true.

Even if there was such a thing as "time=infinity" there still wouldn't be a such a thing as perfection.

In biology there is only relative success for a given environment. self-replicating bots will be no excetion.
 
Nether are we perfect or imperfect. Its just a human abstraction that has no real meaning. It must be tied to something that is quantifiable. I.e. The diamond is perfect in respect to, it has no perceivable flaws.

ChildOfTheMind should have quantified the idea of perfection.

I think the line between robot and machine is a fine one. Soon computers will be produced from information contained in DNA or DNA like molecules. The line between life and machine is fuzzy.

So your question, I think should be.. Should we fear the unknown.. Or should we fear that we could make something that would render all life obsolete. OR stop playing with nuclear bombs or we will all go blind.

We should not fear science. We should embrace change. We have the right to create what we want..

Lastly… Nano-bots.. I would be very unsurprised that the first practical nano-bots will look like a viruses.. ohh in a few hundred years I hope the first artificial bacteria will be produced..
 
I think perfection is more or less of a figment of reality people say nobodys perfect, however a computer is a thing, nobody ever says nothing is perfect, and something can be perfect if it can fulfill everything it can do, without contiuosly setting higher and higher possibilities.
 
I think word you looking for is Autonomous. Yes I think so.. It would be difficult to control 1 billion little robots. One would think that they would require some level of self-control.
 
They will be created to make the perfect Ice cream, the largest diamond, cure cancer, build homes on the moon, stop your farts from smelling and much much more. :)
 
No really Nanotechnology is awesome, if they create it as a bigger topic, then I want ot be the moderator

Someone's been reading Michael Crichton.....Prey is an awesome book. Made me think quite hard.
