I'm more worried about how we stop them once they are successfully programmed to self-replicate. I actually think that 'Gray Goo' is a far more likely scenario for the demise of mankind than it is given credit for:

- Gormo 17y agoI think the best argument against a "grey goo" apocalypse is that it hasn't happened yet, despite the fact that the earth is already full of self-replicating nano-machines.
