    Machines so tiny they would be far smaller than a human blood cell, this is the promise of nanotechnology, and they already exist but how are they even made and will they be scarier than A.I. Experts say that we are just at the beginning of the nanobot revolution and what they promise could little short of miraculous. In this video we look at how we got here and what the current state of the art is

      Paul, I do occasionally buy things from UA-cam channels, but this is one of the more interesting and important ones I’ve bought. Thank you for the offer. Trouble is their order website process has confused and crossed the two orders I was trying to send I have contacted their support and hope that they can straighten it out. Not your fault. Thanks again.

      A ~2.5 minute long ad at the start of your 13 minute video is pretty aggressive. I know a lot of people will tell me to piss off but keep in mind I am paying $23/month already for UA-cam Premium to avoid ads and I am one of your Patreon members contributing $10/month directly to you because I appreciate your content. So I think I'm in a fair enough position to express my distaste for such a long ad at the start of a video that isn't so long, all things considered. I wear headphones while at work listening to podcasts and channels I like so I'm not always able to run back to my desk to skip ahead on my phone so I'm stuck listening about why I need someone to mail me a letter from Winston Churchill.
      I still love what you do but I feel I have a responsibility to share my feedback about it because others likely share my feelings.

      It's one of those topics where people dream of things they already have. It's called biology. You body is constructed by nanomachines called proteins. The information about how to build those is stored in DNA (a different nano-technology for long term digital information storage). Protein nano machines read the DNA in order to produce more proteins. That's what life is. You ARE a collection of nanomachines. Yes, living organisms like big plants growing from a tiny seed really seems magical, it's that awesome. And with viruses, also terrifying. Biotechnology has been working on those all along.
      Reminds me of the flying car hype. You already have them, they're called helicopters...

    In the early 1990s, I first learned about nanotechnology, and it rocked my world. Over time, it seemed to me that using natural nanomachines would be the way to go. Now, after years of dreaming about it, I can also see the horrors that we'll probably unleash from atomic manipulation. But, in the end, I still wish to go forth with it, and God help us all.

      Those already are molecular robots, what more do you want?! Evolution has tinkered around for billions of years and arrived at one place: proteins dissolved in water are the best nano bots. I don't think there's much room for improvement. *Proteins are nano-bots. DNA is digital nano information storage.* Combined, those can already create quasi magical things like a gigantic tree growing from a small seed. Or constructing a neural network so complex that it has consciousness (Yes, I mean the brain). Or destroy other nano-machines by exponential reproduction (viruses).

    Ever since reading "Engines of Creation" back in the day, I've been waiting patiently for signs that generalised nano-assemblers were around the corner. So far, it seems they're further away than fusion power; we're chipping away at the foundational knowledge and techniques, but we're a long, long way from that dream of being able to pull apart and reform matter at the molecular level at will. I'm kind of scared of what we'll do with such technology, so maybe that's for the best.

    In the Amazon #1 Hit Book series "Wool", "Shift" and "Dust" the ultimate end of humanity were these Nano Bots. To survive men created these massive underground "Silos" that are made mostly of concrete and rebar that each of the Silo's run over 2 Miles deep into the ground and has a population of 10K people. Apple TV has adapted the books into a Television Series called "Silo" and it's a damn good show worth watching. In the Silo world there are both Good Nano Bots and Bad Nano Bots. The good ones do like Curious Droid talks about but the bad ones will kill a man/woman no different than if they are exposed to Poison gas. The idea of Bad Nano Bots is terrifying and isn't brought up when talking about the technology.

    My fear for nanotechnology is not that it will gain sentience like in Star Trek or Dr Who, or that it will intentionally be used as a weapon. My fear is more that someone will accidentally unleash a prefect nano disease. One that will replicate by itself forever, and cannot be stopped by the normal anti-biotic or anti-viral drugs. Maybe it will even be intended to help humanity, by say delivering a cure for a genetic disease or cancer.

Of course, this proposal needs the computation to be completely reversible, and this is probably a horrendously difficult engineering challenge, but we can combine AI with nanotechnology.

    We already have nanobots everywhere: bacteria, fungi and archae are all nanobots. Even animals are just a bunch of nanobots working together.
    Nanobots are probably the one threat that life is most prepared to deal with because it's been evolving to compete with hostile nanobots for billions of years.
    Yes, it's true that external coordination has the potential to give artificial nanobots extra abilities. But that's no longer the threat of the bots just going rogue and is now the same concern raised by other powerful technologies we control like nuclear weapons or the ability to create biological weapons: someone could choose to use them to do bad things. And that doesn't really increase our risk any further (mad scientists intent on destruction can already create really nasty fatal diseases).

      You definition of a nanobot is very flawed.
      Fauna & Flora have cells. Living tissue. And they react to pain, light, temperature, chemicals and hormones etc.
      How you can 'lump' them together, is a total disgrace, to millions of years of evolution. Cells are far more complex than any man made nanobot will ever be. Scientists may be able to 'mimic' a cell, but they will never supersede it, until they have spent thousands of years and $billion's evolving their craft. Cheaper and faster to genetically modify cells. Nanobots will only ever be a simple tool for specialised medical conditions. In my opinion.

    The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers which opposed the use of certain types of cost-saving machinery, often by destroying the machines in clandestine raids. They protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.[1][2] Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of "Ned Ludd", a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.[3]
    The Luddite movement began in Nottingham, England, and spread to the North West and Yorkshire between 1811 and 1816.[4] Mill and factory owners took to shooting protesters and eventually the movement was suppressed with legal and military force, which included execution and penal transportation of accused and convicted Luddites.[5]
    Over time, the term has been used to refer to those opposed to industrialisation, automation, computerisation, or new technologies in general

    David, I'm a big fan and always look forward to your videos, but the title of this one is scraping the barrel a bit, isn't it? I would have loved to see you give your usual intelligent, informed and balanced analysis about the existential risks of nanotechnology compared to the risks of AI, but you don't even go anywhere near the subject. As good as this video is insofar as it goes, I do hope there is a part two. D minus!

      No no, I am David, he is Paul. But, yes, I got to the end too and thought, "Did I miss something?" I was expecting to see some 'advanced' developments in the medical world. But there was nothing that stood out. It was like 10 years have gone by and it's still the same. There was no indication of how much it cost's to make some nanobot to 'do circles'. Obviously there is more benefit from the genetic engineering that leading research facilities are able to do, with more 'bang for their investment bucks' than what nanobots are able to achieve, dare I say, at this stage. Maybe there will be some 'break-through' soon, like what 3D printed rocket engines are doing for Space Rockets?
      I hope to watch Paul cover this again in say 5 more years. Maybe then , he can get an A+ 😉

    What exactly would you make the manipulators out of for a nanobot that can rearrange matter at the scale of individual atoms? It would have to have a tip small enough to grasp individual atoms, which would mean being no more than a few atoms itself. How do you bind those atoms together more tightly than the bonds holding together the atoms of the matter you're trying to rearrange? For that matter, how would you power a nanobot outside of a laboratory environment, and what would keep the swarm of natural micromachines it would find itself surrounded by out in the wild from attacking and destroying it?

    Powering the nanobots and having them deal with "real world" impurities and situations for which they're not designed causes me to conclude that the idea of a "grey goo" apocalypse is nothing to worry about. I don't think we'll get self-replicating nano machines that are much smaller than the smallest bacteria. So we should be able to deal with them in the normal ways.

      Don't make out Paul is doing us a dis-service, when it's well known that those having their own channel, have received less and less income, for the same service, in the last, say, 5 years. He is not the only channel that has had to resort to sponsors to 'keep from drowning' on You Tube's platform.
