"GAME THEORY: Originally developed by the great mathematician John von Neumann and the economist Oscar Morgenstern, Game Theory explores the various outcomes when interactive, semi-autonomous agents engage in either cooperative and noncooperative behavior." https://lnkd.in/dBCZ5hh View in LinkedIn

COMMUNICATION SALTATIONS. "Every major technological success in the public in the last 50 years—cars, phones, beepers, cell phones, Internet—has been about social connection. They all enhance our ability to connect in some way and are successful because they contribute to the symbiotic intelligence process." http://www.computerworld.com/article/2585443/it-management/symbiotic-intelligence.html View in LinkedIn

SPECTRAL RELATIONSHIPS. "Scientists have viewed evolution as a process of natural selection resulting from competition. But recently, some have argued that cooperation and symbiosis are really the dominant forces in nature." https://lnkd.in/duPhX2C View in LinkedIn

COMPUTER VIRUS THREAT. "It is now twenty years since Fred Cohen published his seminal research paper suggesting the potential threat of computer viruses. In the years since this publication, the risk that Cohen described has unquestionably been borne out, and alongside hackers, the threat of the computer virus is the security issue that has most clearly permeated the public mind."

LOGIC IS INSUFFICIENT. "1960s and 1970s. Back then, many thought that general-purpose AI could be achieved purely through symbolic manipulation. That is, it was thought that we could build machines that, through purely logical reasoning, would derive a sufficient understanding of the world to reach and even exceed human intelligence." https://pointersgonewild.com/ View in LinkedIn

A SECURITY EXPLOIT. "Parasitic computing is programming technique where a program in normal authorized interactions with another program manages to get the other program to perform computations of a complex nature. It is, in a sense, a security exploit in that the program implementing the parasitic computing has no authority to consume resources made available to the other program." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_computing View in LinkedIn

MASSIVE QUESTION. "Computer programming is all about putting human-derived algorithms or instructions into a binary code to make machines do what we want. Right? What if this purely logic and purely human system has parts that we do not understand? What would that mean if it was not just programmer error (which happens massively)?" https://lnkd.in/de4Pasi View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this two weekend venture into the theme of coevolution. Clearly, this story is far from over, and there is more to learn. It is interesting to imagine that man and machine may one day coevolve when Artificial Intelligence gains its inevitable autonomy, and when flesh and machine inevitably become more entwined. So far, the story of coevolution in biology has been limited to closely interacting species, such as the microbiome and the host, but this will expand one day to extraordinary realms.

MORE SERIOUS BUG STORIES. “The 1996 maiden flight of the European Space Agency's state-of-the-art Ariane 5 rocket ended in a spectacular explosion over French Guiana. The rocket's inertial guidance system failed to convert a piece of data from a 64-bit format to a 16-bit format. Estimates on the cost of the lost rocket and cargo run to $500 million.” https://lnkd.in/d3YygPs View in LinkedIn

NEXT LEVEL UP. "The social structure of the hive is transmitted epigenetically across generations, and the honeybee genome is an adaptation to the social structure laid down in the distant past." http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/366/1566/878 View in LinkedIn
