Forgive me for not picking up on the irony of including corporations and nanodevices in the same sentence. Eliezer is obviously correct in that corporations don’t evolve because they don’t replicate. A childish wish to gloat has to be held in check so as not to name and shame all those ‘child’ corporations whose DNA is specifically contrary to their parents’.
The anti-wish list for nanodevices, on the other hand, is relevant and necessary. However, it is also entirely superfluous, as we all know, thanks to Dr Denning, that we are in a deterministic universe and that ‘Que sera, sera’. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
