Why Yudkowsky is wrong about "covalently bonded equivalents of biology"

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
Thanks, I love these answers! I'll drop a DM on matrix for further questions.
The DMS researchers were estimating something on the order of 5 eV for mechanically dropping a single pair of Carbon atoms onto the surface of diamond. I'm not sure how to directly compare this to the biological case.
so we're looking at something in the order of 2x more energy for pair of carbons than for putting single aminoacid in protein, and aminoacids are much larger. (some 4.2x70kJ/mol per ATP -> AMP + 2Pi), and that's including everything around protein synthesis except aminoacid synthesis, compared to just deposition of carbons (that's without picking them up?), and it's when you have clean prepared surface, in real life this also takes some considerable energy
