@@julioricardolopezaguirre1206 Exactly the same in Bosnia. The thing is some faculties still have standards and operate on ant Bologna doctrine, despite painting it as such, so they are actually more difficult and you need to learn more useless information than on western universities(a professor told me that his course was more difficult than on the university in Oxford it originated from(I study computer science and that course is about operating systems, mainly UNIX, made in 1983)). The result is that generations of students are worse and worse, year for year and my was the worst one so far in its history.(only 50 passed from 287 newcomers) The government does nothing to address this, middle and high schools keep getting worse, so new students go to private universities, which dont offer any knowledge, you basically just buy a degree.(in the same faculty as mine, but a private one, there are graduates that dont know multiplication from 1 to 10) The other state university faculties(except medicine, mechanical and pharmacy) are corrupt af. They are easy as well, we call them faculties for the afternoon.(since you can learn them in your free time, without much effort) The ones who finish them are of low quality knowledge and cant compete on the market and thats why they bribe our politicians to get a government job. The ones who finish the insanely difficult faculties cant find a job because of corruption or it is not paid well, so they leave Bosnia and go abroad.(except IT and comp. science, cause there is a job shortage of them, so they get employed and dont leave, but stay in Bosnia) Sorry for the rant.

I don't agree with all of the arguments of either side. While I see the arguments of Wesley and Dr. Crusher as too idealistic, the arguments of the expert gentleman were way too dismissive. Certainly, they represent a major potential threat to the Enterprise. But these nanites certainly *behaved* in a way similar to life. Whether or not they are intelligent could be determined through communication or prolonged observation. Unfortunately, they evolve rapidly, which does not give much time to make such a determination. And it makes dealing with them riskier the more that time passes. I very much enjoyed this episode. For one thing, it really made one think. But, yes, it leaned far too much on the idealistic. There's a reason why sci-fi coined the phrase "grey goo" and often uses nanites as either a villain or nigh-unstoppable force. Often, they are responsible for consuming entire planets. I'm reminded of the nanites in Stargate SG1. Those things were terrifying.

Picard's Knowledge of these Nanites was transferred to the Borg Collective in 2367 and then by 2373 the Borg Assimilation Process was Upgraded so it would no longer take over a week but just under an hour to fully assimilate a victim of the Borg.... However Voyager showed Nanoprobes in use during the early 2350s. And made it clear that the Borg always looked and functioned like they did in First Contact Onward. Rather than the "Evolution" that took place between TNG and First Contact.

@@damianich4824 By definition, viruses don't qualify as life. They satisfy most criteria, but they can't produce their own components from raw resources independently. Provide a living organism with the right nutrients and it can make its own proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, regardless of where the nutrients came from. Present a virus with anything other than a living cell and it will do nothing. For a sci-fi mechanical analogy, a living organism is like an automated factory that can build and program all of its own components. Provide it with power and raw resources and it can make a full copy of itself. A virus is more like a computer virus (shocking, I know) or bootable drive on a USB stick that reprograms the factory to make copies of the USB stick. Fancy ones might have a robot body that carries the USB stick around, but unless they can find a factory to hijack they just sit there doing nothing.

I read once that all you need for machines to evolve is for them to have imperfect self replication. If they can replicate perfectly they will stay the same but if the process is imperfect, then that error can be their machine version of mutation.
@Tuzszo2 жыл бұрын
And in practice every self-replicator will replicate imperfectly to a degree, which means any self-replicating machine will mutate with enough generations. For machines with minimal error correcting code and in high radiation environments that mutation rate could be surprisingly high.
@tiotoy99 Жыл бұрын
This all has the assumption that mutations are beneficial
@logangustavson Жыл бұрын
Given enough generations and time the likelihood that positive mutations occur increases until its a virtual certainty. Even if it doesn't, it's still evolution. Or if you want to be technical. De-evolution.
@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 Жыл бұрын
@@tiotoy99 no it does not. Its the same principle as real life evolution. Most mutations aren't beneficial, but any that is will make that animal more likely to survive and spread that mutation. If a mutation is harmful, that animal is unlikely to survive to pass it on. To adapt that to machines, even if most imperfections in replication are harmful (or simply non beneficial), the few that are helpful is all the machine needs to "evolve'.
@BoguslavSL Жыл бұрын
We have enough experience with programming to understand that errors are not beneficial. Errors in the programme make the machine unable to perform its functions. That is why the need for error correction. These are pure speculations. Do not forget why it is called “science fiction”.
