That would be fucking awesome. Like that Futurama episode where nano-Benders turn matter into more nano-Benders lol.

Asteroids can become computers. 4chan can buy an asteroid server.

You know you get a good computer when it requires the "disassembly" of significant portions of a star's planetary system.

wait wait,are you guys talking about a big something like halo?

>> No.3395483

Nope. Most of the mass will be dedicated to industries to prevent pressures and temperatures from existing that would prevent such complex forms to exist.

It is possible that complex interactions of matter and energy could exist in the electric currents within a star or the core of a planet or some other phenomena such that the mathematical properties needed for computations or neural networks or some other undiscovered process which can allow thought can occur. I haven't heard of any though.

futuretimeline until 2030 = Awesome, a lot of this could come true, can't wait for the future

futuretimeline shortly afterwards = fullretard.jpeg.gif.avi.net.org.co.uk.com.com

Having read through the site, 2030 is when they run out of sane predictions based on demographics, moores law, existing technologies and fall back on michio kaku/kurzweil bullshit about teleportation/singularity etc.
