Comment on Machines might not be able to reproduce themselves

We actually already have artificially created self-replicating nanomachines. They’re iust not what you might think of as a typical machine as they’re biological.

I wouldn’t consider a self-replicating protein a robot, but I’m not an expert.

Keep in mind, it’s not just breeding some already narurally existing thing and calling it a robot. Some are “reprogrammed” viruses, some are specialized, lab grown cells, and still others are literally building them like a robot, but using protiens or other microscopic organic matter as the body and moving bits and they achieve their locomotion and other usefulness through the medium they are suspended in.
