We do mention fruit fly doubling times as a biological anchor for how fast doubling times could become as robots become smaller.
Potential blockers to this include:
Are there any examples of metamorphosis doing anything like this? From a quick glance it’s about abrupt changes to one organism during its growth. But you’re suggesting it could also allow millions of fruit-fly-sized-organisms to combine together into a large functional bio robot. That seems like a big jump.
And I don’t think this is a nit pick from me. There’s a clear pattern in biology where bigger and more sophisticated organisms take longer to reproduce. So unclear you can hack around that constraint as you’re saying.
How will the fruit flies flexibly adapt their behaviour to the economic needs and situation, like human physical workers do? Unclear this can all be packed into their AI-designed DNA. And unclear if they can learn to receive instructions from the AI.
Thanks for this!
