TYPES OF INFORMATION. "Nature is full of hierarchical and symbiotic structures which are optimally designed in all design aspects. Ingenious solutions in nature are transmitted by genetic codes. Human information is not transferable genetically but has to be studied, stored to design codes and transmitted by education." https://lnkd.in/dYdY4x3 View in LinkedIn

THE GREY ZONE. "A recursively self-improving AI could transform itself into a superintelligent machine." https://lnkd.in/dp3ZKye View in LinkedIn

CULTURAL EVOLUTION. "Once culture originates, it has the capacity to evolve on its own, and the past century has shown an explosion of technological culture, including notably the creation of computing machines and complex distributed informational networks connecting them." https://lnkd.in/dsMZPii View in LinkedIn

FINAL ACT. "There's a saying among futurists that a human-equivalent artificial intelligence will be our last invention. After that, AIs will be capable of designing virtually anything on their own — including themselves." https://lnkd.in/dp3ZKye View in LinkedIn

NON-ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION. "Genome complexity is correlated with biological complexity. A recent paper by Michael Lynch proposes that evolution of complex genomic architecture was driven primarily by non-adaptive stochastic forces, rather than by adaptive evolution. A general negative relationship between selection efficiency and genome complexity provides a strong support for this hypothesis." https://lnkd.in/ePaUq-z View in LinkedIn

RULES. “Domain-Specific Languages are about as close as we'll ever get. You will always have to give the computer some rules to work with. But the more those rules are defined in a manner specific to their domain, the less input there will have to be." https://lnkd.in/dsxKTtK View in LinkedIn

PROKARYOTIC CONSTRAINTS. “Prokaryotic genome size is constrained by bioenergetics. The endosymbiosis that gave rise to mitochondria restructured the distribution of DNA in relation to bioenergetic membranes, permitting a remarkable 200,000-fold expansion in the number of genes expressed." https://lnkd.in/epWvSvD View in LinkedIn

SELF-MODIFYING CODE. "Is it possible for a program to modify its own code? Absolutely. The Linux kernel makes extensive use of self-modifying code. Also, any environment using just-in-time compilation, such as the Java virtual machine or Google’s V8 JavaScript engine or PyPy, is built entirely on self-modifying code." https://lnkd.in/db4vZQ4 View in LinkedIn

PROKARYOTE LIMITED COMPLEXITY. "All complex life is composed of eukaryotic (nucleated) cells. The eukaryotic cell arose from prokaryotes just once in four billion years, and otherwise prokaryotes show no tendency to evolve greater complexity. Why not?” https://lnkd.in/epWvSvD View in LinkedIn

UNIT OF EVOLUTION? "Individuals are merely disposable vehicles for the replicating information contained in the genes. As long as the genes survive (that is, are replicated in offspring before the individual dies), the survival or death of the individual is not very important." https://lnkd.in/ecMXQ_u View in LinkedIn
