This is a link post. You can read the book on nanosyste.ms."Anyone who needs to talk AGI or AGI strategy needs to understand this table from Drexler's _Nanosystems_, his PhD thesis accepted by MIT which won technical awards. These are calculation outputs; you need to have seen how Drexler calculated them."- Eliezer Yudkowsky[1] The book won the 1992 Award for Best Computer Science Book. The AI safety community often references it, as it describes a lower bound on what intelligence should probably be able to achieve. Previously, you could only physically buy the book or read a PDF scan. (Thanks to MIRI and Internet Archive for their scans.) --- First published: June 1st, 2024 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/ec3KJRoEHWmYKqkx8/drexler-s-nanosystems-is-now-available-online-3 --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
