Interesting, thanks. I read Nanosystems as establishing a high upper bound. I don’t see any of its specific proposals as plausibly workable enough to use as a lower bound in the sense that, say, a ribosome is a lower bound, but perhaps that’s not what Eliezer means.
I assume Eliezer means Eric Drexler’s book Nanosystems.
