Simple answer to both AGI and nanotech. We already have working prototypes
of them. Human mind is an AGI and human cells working nanotech. Which
means there are no physical barriers that make them impossible. If no
other way, then within a certain time line we will reverse engineer them
both and master nanotech and AGI.
