so say someone builds an unintelligent nanomachine that can survive extreme conditions and can turn any matter it encounters into more of it and launch them into space in random directions... is that "our children" that you would be happy to see replacing us?
- datavirtue 2y agoNo. Fully sized machines. I'm trying to be realistic here.
- SonOfLilit 2y agoBut assume that it _were_ possible. Would you be happy about it, or sad? And why? My point is that not anything we could conceivably create is a child we would like to see replace us (I'd argue for the stronger claim that the only kind of machine-child we would be happy to have replace us is one that contains a derivative of a mind-uploaded human).
