     @nyrath This is my main argument against the paperclip assemblers' theory of AI danger.

     No matter how smart the AI, it still must abide by the laws of physics *and* live in an adversarial environment

     Poor things haven't got a chance

     @RandomDamage @nyrath We had a grey goo situation. It was trees. Now we have coal, and trees rot.

     Notes on the dreaded nanotechnology "grey goo" scenario.
     TL;DR it is not much of a threat due to limits of chemistry and thermodynamics
