My greatest concern is that the emergence of this technology without the appropriate public attention and international controls could lead to an unstable arms race. – K. Eric Drexler
Technologists provide tools that can improve peoples lives. But I want to be clear that I dont think technology by itself improves peoples lives, since often Im criticized for being too pro-technology. Unless theres commensurate ethical and moral improvements to go along with it, its for naught. – Jaron Lanier
