I haven't gotten the Nov. 26 Science yet so I want to thank Eliezer for
breaking this electrifying news. Skeptics of Nanotechnology loved to
point out that although we've been able to move individual atoms for
several years we haven't been able to do chemistry at that scale,
well now we can. Eliezer, I'm starting to think that if you want AI to
arrive before Nanotechnology you're really going to have to move into
high gear.
