Here's the exact text for 5 and 6 from the video:
"It emails out some instructions to one of those labs that'll synthesize DNA and synthesize proteins from the DNA and get some proteins mailed to a you.
A hapless human somewhere who gets paid a bunch of money to mix together some stuff they got in the mail, you know like smart people will not do this for any sum of money, but many people are not smart.
They build the ribosome but the ribosome that builds things out of covalently bonded diamondoid instead of proteins folding up and held together by Van Der Waals forces builds tiny diamondoid bacteria. The diamondoid bacteria replicate using atmospheric carbon hydrogen oxygen nitrogen and sunlight and you know a couple of days later everybody on earth falls over dead in the same second.
That's the disaster scenario if it's as smart as I am. If it's smarter it might think of a better way to do things but it can at least think of that. "
- PaulHoule 4y agoIf you were talking about diamonoid technology in 1995 that would be appropriate to the time but as much as I like Drexler's Nanosystems as a blueprint for what a discussion of advanced manufacturing systems looks like, it has by no means aged well.
