    HOLY SHIT! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!? This means we will never get to have something like this in our homes. Think about it. No corporation is going to let you have one of these. If this shit go down to the nano scale then we could make anything we want with just using basic resources! That would mean we wouldn't need them greedy wealthy people!

    @drrobertoboogie97 To decrease the number of sexual crimes it would be enough to legalize prostitution and we could do that now. In the future rapists and pedophiles will become obsolete thanks to sex robots :) watch?v=rtuioXKssyA

    @capitalcomunist Its plastic, you would have a better chance killing someone with a civil war musket then a plastic gun. The best someone could do with this is a plastic knife and I have a whole set of metal ones in my kitchen.

    @capitalcomunist Whats really dangerous is a society that forces people to compete against each other for survival. If people where all considered equal, as well as given access to everything they need there would be no need for weapons. Of course the only way a society like this would work is if we discontinued the use of money, got rid of our archaic governmental structures, and used scientific methods to reach decisions with the sole goal of human and environmental betterment.

    Sell this to rapists and pedophiles. They'll love it and it'll decrease the number of sexual crimes.

    @capitalcomunist There are thousands of freely available websites and books on the internet all which tell people how to make bombs, guns, poisons and other potential dangerous weapons that could be used for murder, and even domestic terrorism. Last time I checked, not many people care about that stuff.

    @capitalcomunist Take up a stick and it could be used as a weapon too. Or use a golf club as a well club. Point is there is not a real lack of weapons now either. This would make no difference in the end from a criminal view.

    what if people produced weapons? if every person had that kind of production in a household, production would no longer be controlled by corporations or governments, and since no training would be needed and the best design could be shared its seems a little dangerous...

    I would be great if this tech gets throught the average person... The powers that be would not like the idea.... It would cost alot of jobs and they would lose their grip on power....

    mining would be so easy with something like this. you just dump a bot the and gather the bots later when they have exhausted the thing mined. and if your to lazy to do that you make a food chain when bots eat bots untill there is only one bot then tell it to move to the market to be sold.

    yeah and when the world is overrun with these we can make a preadotor repicator to eat all the old replicators
