The opportunities that AP technology will bring should hopefully by far outbalance the dangers presented here.
List of possible dangers that could arise with the rise of advanced AP technology
- non degrading waste recycling (envirounment)
- building up on flawed software design
- development of new weaponary (e.g. interfacial drive based kinetic energy weapons)
- easy production of explosives (e.g. solid sp3 nitrogen)
- easy production of simple poisons (e.g. HCN)
- easy production of drugs (hard for diamondoid mechanosynthesis though since it's basic form can't deal well with complex floppy molecules)
- sharp edges and splinters (health)
- social and economic dangers like detrimental effects of rapid and imbalanced economic change
- social and economic dangers like globally declining birth rates at a dangerous rate
- uncontrolled replication -- reproduction hexagon
- an arms race ?
- unethical perfectionism
- ... [Todo: add further ones]
Waste
Albeit advanced APM has the potential to be an absolutely clean technology in production (since its primary waste products are only hot air and warm water) advanced APM would be a unprecedented wasteful technology in disposal if not built correctly since the products themselves must be considered waste once they become obsolete - and the products will become obsolete fast as we can see with today's pace of software improvement. Also the global production rate in mass or volume will be bigger since production will become so widespread and accessible.
- Recycling is not an option its an obligation that has to be thought of before creating advanced APM systems that can produce products that don not biodegrade quickly.
