Thanks alot for your input guys

I just finished an article about Quantum Computing and I couldn't help but laugh...silly scientists, 'who'ya gunna get to program the beast?' lol
I've been following the work of Nanotechnology pioneers like Dr. Eric Drexler, Ralph Merkle and Robert Freitas for many years now. I am especially interested in Molecular Manufacturing and the medical applications of Nanotechnology (Nanobots), but one thing has gnawed at me from the start...who the F@#& is gunna write the MASSIVELY complex OS for these things!!?
The answer to both of these questions is, of course, Computational intelligence...AI.
I really believe we need something on the order of a world wide Grand Challenge to develop an AI capable of writting flawless programs that have billions of lines of super eligant code. Unfortunately this is not happening...
