In the long term I expect engineering to outperform evolution in the same way that mathematics allowed humans to establish such a practical lead that we're almost in a different class to animals. It'll be interesting to see how quickly and how lopsided the advantage is over cells if nanorobots take off.
- jjtheblunt 2y agoMolecular organic biology _is_ already since the dawn of time the realization of nanobots through enzymes and various automata built in chemistry. I think (to your point) what is interesting is adding new chemical nanobot-esque compounds that nature had not yet developed. For example that can coordinate with external focused energy.
