THE VIRUS: SILICON VS CARBON LIFE

by fluxit . Updated 21 years, 2 months ago

Many fictional articles attempt to make a case that silicon based computer viruses are approaching a time that they can ‘mutate’ into living viruses that infect carbon based life forms. There may be some truth in part to that.

If silicon based computers are used to farm and harvest nanobots. Computer code such as C++ then can be used to output these nano devices in some sort of biotech computer integrated manufacturing site. Using AI concepts and advanced virus techniques, a ‘haywired’ virus could cultivate and manufacture viruses deadly to humans.

This appears to be some sort of twist on the ‘Demon Seed’. Scary!
