GAPING HOLES. "Memory corruption vulnerabilities have become significantly more difficult on modern operating systems. There are still gaping holes in stack input/output that can be exploited." https://lnkd.in/dzU4CYK View in LinkedIn

INNOVATION. "As spotted by Hack a Day, a chap named Kory Becker recently made use of a minimalistic yet Turing-complete language called brainfu*k to create a program that can generate 'hello world' programs. Sure, it's considerably less impressive than, say, making Skynet, but it's still a step in what may or may not be the correct direction." https://lnkd.in/d5enhBP View in LinkedIn

HELLO WORLD is now on tee shirts. I was in a bed and breakfast in Cambridge recently and some conference attendees were wearing Hello World tee shirts. I had to smile at the cryptic reference. View in LinkedIn

CONSTANTLY IMPROVING CODE. Kory Becker from Primary Objects has been experimenting with AIs capable of writing their own computer programs. The AIs Kory is using are called genetic algorithms. They function much the same as biological evolution, in that the programs they write get better and better with each generation." https://lnkd.in/dk8PgiX View in LinkedIn

"AI-PROGRAMMER is an experiment with using artificial intelligence and genetic algorithms to automatically generate programs in the Brainf**k programming language. Successfully created programs by the AI include: hello world, hello, addition, subtraction, reversing a string, fibonnaci sequence, 99 bottles of beer on the wall, and more. It's getting smarter. In short, it's an AI genetic algorithm implementation with self modifying code." https://lnkd.in/dUfSxf4 View in LinkedIn

THE EXPERIMENT. "This is the idea behind the AI-Programmer experiment. The goal is to ultimately create a computer program that can write its own computer programs to solve specific computational problems. While the capability of a computer deciding what type of program to write is beyond our current means, we can still have a computer generate programs to solve very specific tasks, such as outputting the text, "Hello World"." https://lnkd.in/dUfSxf4 View in LinkedIn

SEEKING SOLUTIONS. "Genetic algorithms are programmatic implementations of survival of the fittest. They can also be classified as artificially intelligent search algorithms, with regard to how they search an immense problem space for a specific solution." (In biological language, niche adaptation). https://lnkd.in/dk8PgiX View in LinkedIn

HELLO WORLD. "“dlroW olleH” (“Hello World” backwards). The above programming code was created by an artificial intelligence program, designed to write programs with self-modifying and self-improving code. The program created the above result in 60 seconds. The above program accepts user input and prints the reversed text." https://lnkd.in/d4FtxBC View in LinkedIn

"BINARY BITS of 1’s and 0’s are just like the atoms that make up every physical object in the universe. If it were possible to manipulate and arrange atoms, it would be theoretically possible to re-create any physical object." https://lnkd.in/d4FtxBC View in LinkedIn

NOVEL SOFTWARE. "By manipulating and arranging bits, we can theoretically create any type of software - even ones that do not yet exist. And unlike the process of arranging atoms to create, for example gold, this process wouldn’t even require nuclear reactions." https://lnkd.in/d4FtxBC View in LinkedIn
