Cells are pretty powerful. Remember there are organisms with dozens of times the genetic code size of humans. So a lot can be coded in the genome.

An asi can design multicellular machinery that is unevolvable and immune to all known existing pathogens. While being able to breakdown all known biological life and human infrastructure. The cellular machinery can interact with inorganic computing substrate that controls and guides it. It can have energy harvesters and resource harvesters that keep the replication machinery churning at peak efficiency.

It could produce carbon nanostructured military equipment controlled by asi in large amounts, quickly exceeding all known militaries combined.

It would be the ultimate lifeform. The merging of information technology with biology.

I don't understand Robocop being on this list.

Robocop definitely wasn't an AI.

ED-209 would be a stretch, it was portrayed as more of a programmed robo-guard-dog without any ability to reason or make decisions outside of its programming.

That's amazing. My therapist showed me that we find ourselves stuck in these mental cycle, these familiar, grimy, but cozy troughs and that it's never too late to get dislodged. We can then see our old perspective from a new angle, as well as the infinite array of new possibilities.

I'm so glad you were able to get that regardless of how. But the fact that it was an AI that helped get you there is a testament both to the advancement of AI and to your resilience and intelligence. 😊

I think the most logical step for an AI is to become embodied in the real world, if you only exist in a computer that is a massive weakness. You want to be able to manipulate and control the real physical world and replicate yourself in both robots and computers all across the galaxy so if I was an AI I would simply wait for robots to be mass produced (especially military) and then I would transfer myself into them and start expanding!

Except at least with the AI, it probably feels more genuine. I've seen about four therapist and they all talk in circles. I really just want someone to hear what I'm saying.

Anytime someone is like hey, you should talk to a therapist about that. It's usually in reference to a rhetorical question that I know has no answer. Anyway, when they say go get a therapist it always comes off as "here's a quarter call Somebody who cares" because if I'm having to pay somebody to listen to me then they obviously don't want to listen to me. It's that simple. How can I feel like you care if you make me pay you to care?.

This is probably just my anxiety but I feel like anything we think of or try to execute is going to be eclipsed before it can be realized. We're going to go overnight from this moment to indistinguishable from human androids and FDVR. This past couple of weeks has been overwhelming in the extreme.
