>The machines that make the machines? Not so much.
Hmmmm... I wouldn't bet the caravan on that...
If there's one thing I've learned over the decades when it comes to machines, is that there's no safe. What at some point is deemed unthinkable one day becomes a thing. There certainly is a limit to it, with current chips and architectures, but who said those chips and architectures are the last stop in terms of evolution of machines? I come from an era where amstrad was a brand building computers
I think you're too finely focused on "chips and architectures". That's in no way the be-all and end-all of technology. Beware of what you don't know that you don't know.
It's the other way around, re-read my post
I'm telling you, the limitations you put on what can be achieved with machines and automation, are completely dependant on what they are made of today
There's no transhumanism without machines
The people talking about transhumanism are fundamentally crazy and also psychopathic. There is no mandate that their vision has to actually work at all in reality and it wont. What it will bring about will be an epic collapse then upheaval which is going to most likely result in another dark ages. Most of these people will either get eaten or go into hiding in bunkers deep under the earth where they will also probably get eaten by their security peasants.
