WIDELY USED. "Self-modifying code (SMC), in this paper, broadly refers to any program that loads, generates, or mutates code at runtime. It is widely used in many of the world’s critical software systems to support runtime code generation and optimization, dynamic loading and linking, OS boot loader, just-in-time compilation, binary translation, or dynamic code encryption and obfuscation." https://lnkd.in/dzAS74T View in LinkedIn

AUTONOMOUS CODE. "Viv’s biggest secret is the technology to bring the different services together on the fly to respond to requests for which it hasn’t been specifically programmed. “It is a program that writes its own program, which is the only way you can scale thousands of services working together that know nothing about one another." Given inevitable errors, this is akin to genetic variation." https://lnkd.in/deszndk View in LinkedIn

ALTER COMMAND. "Although code can be generated by other code (metaprogamming), programs generally don’t change their own code as they run; this has the potential to devolve into a mess of difficult-to-track changes. However, some languages do allow programs to alter "their own script as it ran, such as with COBOL’s ALTER command.” https://lnkd.in/dScXnfT View in LinkedIn

EXPONENTIAL SMARTS. "Once sophisticated enough, an AI will be able to engage in what's called "recursive self-improvement." As an AI becomes smarter and more capable, it will subsequently become better at the task of developing its internal cognitive functions." https://lnkd.in/dp3ZKye View in LinkedIn

GÖDEL'S NUMBERS. "Andrew Hodges, Turing’s biographer, describes certain aspects of the “universal machine”:"…underneath here lay the same powerful idea that Gödel had used, that there was no essential distinction between “numbers” and operations on numbers. From a modern mathematical point of view, they were all alike symbols. With this done, it followed that one particular machine could simulate the work done by any machine." https://lnkd.in/dCVHq5S View in LinkedIn
