VIROID. "True viruses have two major components: one that handles the spread of the virus, and a “payload” or “manipulation” task. The payload task may not be present (has null effect), or it may await a set of predetermined circumstances before triggering." https://lnkd.in/eCG7b3z View in LinkedIn

WORMS VERSUS VIRUSES. "Worms are another form of software that is often referred to as a computer virus. Unlike viruses, worms are programs that can run independently and travel from machine to machine across network connections; worms may have portions of themselves running on many different machines. Worms do not change other programs, although they may carry other code that does, such as a true virus." https://lnkd.in/eCG7b3z View in LinkedIn

WORM TRACKS. "The computer 'worm' is so-called because of the way in which 'rogue' computer code was originally detected. Printouts of computer memory locations would show random 'wormhole' patterns, much like that of the patterns on worm-eaten wood. The term eventually became shortened and used to describe viruses that could 'worm' or propagate across networks and the Internet, leaving copies of themselves as they travelled." https://lnkd.in/dhKz_EK View in LinkedIn

"A WORM is a piece of code that can make fully functional copies of itself and travel through a computer network and/or across the Internet through a number of means. A worm does not attach themselves to other programs like traditional viruses, but creates copies of itself, which in turn create even more copies." https://lnkd.in/dhKz_EK View in LinkedIn

THE STUDY OF THE EARTHWORM (by Charles Darwin) took 40 years of experimentation on a pool table to complete (1881 in a book titled The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms, with Observations of their Habits). https://lnkd.in/d4AyW4h View in LinkedIn

“INATE MOLECULES transitioned into life forms during evolution. Was it a critical mass of such entities? Was it a transformation related to complexity? Was it cooperative functionality? Whatever it was, we have zero understanding of this process despite all the tools at our disposal.” https://lnkd.in/epkJVpt View in LinkedIn

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
