>>508653975The human body is a machine of organic matter because organic matter can be manufactured and replaced at scales large and small.
Our robots might be able to run for a few months, maybe a year or two without service. They are pale imitations of biological machines.
>just make more reliable machines!Not really possible outside of extremely controlled environments. Biology is insanely reliable when compared with anything humans can make. Even if humans can, for short periods of time btfo biology in terms of preformance.
>but what if machines repair the machines! An admirable goal, but this requires material which our human systems are nearly incapable of recycling efficiently. So you either.
>a) run out of mineable materials and have to run damage control as you surpass your machine carrying capacity with shitty recycling.>b) prevent machines from ever degrading>but we can just use durable materials, what if we make it all out of stainless steel!?That's your best chance, pure gold wire, stainless steel frames. They say preformance is beautiful. I have zero clue how you are going to do solve the aging of computer components. But the rapid pace of computer manufacture has completely erased this issue from the public eye.
It takes you 60+ years to get cancer and die,
How long does it take a computer? Less than 20?
Maybe the robot makes more labor over it's life cycle than a human, but so does a workhorse or diesel engine.
>tldr: humans must do so much to mimic a fraction of the power nature has.
