A dyson swarm does not require any new technology to develop, only the constant churning out of satellites. They do not need to be technologically superior to us.
In any case, we would still be ants compared to them.
- ageofwant 10y agoI dunno, a self-replicating swarm would by definition be technological superior to us, for the next few decades at least.
- kiba 10y agoYou don't need a "self-replicating swarm" to build more satellites. You just need to pump out lot of satellites. There's nothing special about self-replicating "swarm", either.
- naasking 10y agoAutomated self replication is pretty special. We don't have anything like that yet. All of our tech requires human intervention when it breaks down.

- abhishekkr 10y agokiba above doesn't seem to know exponential growth. Self-replication leads to exponential growth. Creating more satellites here locally only gives you linear growth.
