MACHINE CREATIVITY. "For example I saw a super mario world computer speed run where the program found that spin jumping resulted in safer runs. I beat that game several times and never tried it. The possibility had never occurred to me and in irony of all ironies a computer managed to be more creative. Execution is one thing. But creativity we consider to be in the human domain. Maybe not much longer." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3d3vct View in LinkedIn

SICK, WICKED AND DARK. "And the end result of TechnoCore's self-evolution without empathy and altruism was beats so sick, wub-wubs so wicked, and bass drops so dank that no human could handle how dope they were." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3d3vct View in LinkedIn

TECHNOCORE. "These precursor entities grew in complexity by hijacking and "parasitizing" one another's code, becoming more powerful at the expense of others. As a result, as they grew into self-awareness, they never developed the concepts of empathy and altruism - a fundamental deficit that would result in conflict with other ascended entities in the future." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3d3vct View in LinkedIn

"THE ORIGINS of the the TechnoCore can be traced back to the experiments of the Old Earth scientist Thomas S. Ray, who attempted to create self-evolving artificial life on a virtual computer." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3d3vct View in LinkedIn

PROMISCUOUS BINDING. "Of particular interest in the context of protein-protein interaction networks are findings demonstrating that proteins with many or large intrinsically disordered segments often have the ability to bind promiscuously, with promiscuous proteins or protein segments being those that can bind to many different targets." http://www.biochemj.org/content/454/3/361?sa=X&ved=0CDkQ9QEwEWoVChMIzdjAo5n2xgIVovRyCh0HSAum View in LinkedIn

DECEITFUL BEHAVIOR. “After 500 generations, 60 percent of the robots had evolved to keep their light off when they found the good resource, hogging it all for themselves. Even more telling, a third of the robots evolved to actually look for the liars by developing an aversion to the light; the exact opposite of their original programming!" http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2009-08/evolving-robots-learn-lie-hide-resources-each-other View in LinkedIn

THREE MODULES. "There appear to be three different modules within intrinsically disordered regions responsible for their functionally promiscuous behaviour: MoRFs (molecular recognition features), SLiMs (small linear motifs) and LCRs (low complexity regions)." http://www.biochemj.org/content/454/3/361?sa=X&ved=0CDkQ9QEwEWoVChMIzdjAo5n2xgIVovRyCh0HSAum View in LinkedIn

DESIGN FOR LYING TEST. "The experiment involved 1,000 robots divided into 10 different groups. Each robot had a sensor, a blue light, and its own 264-bit binary code "genome" that governed how it reacted to different stimuli. The first generation robots were programmed to turn the light on when they found the good resource, helping the other robots in the group find it." https://lnkd.in/g_45Y2T View in LinkedIn

CONFORMATIONALLY LOOSE. "Intrinsically disordered segments lack a unique three-dimensional structure, either entirely or in parts, when expressed as autonomous units, and it is assumed that they sample a variety of conformations that are in equilibrium under physiological conditions." http://www.biochemj.org/content/454/3/361?sa=X&ved=0CDkQ9QEwEWoVChMIzdjAo5n2xgIVovRyCh0HSAum View in LinkedIn

EVOLVING ROBOTS LEARN TO LIE. "In an experiment run at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems in the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne, Switzerland, robots that were designed to cooperate in searching out a beneficial resource and avoiding a poisonous one learned to lie to each other in an attempt to hoard the resource." https://lnkd.in/g_45Y2T View in LinkedIn
