TRIAL AND ERROR. "Naturally, the whole thing required a fair bit of trial and error. The AI only successfully wrote a program to output "Hi!" after 1,219,400 generations, a process that lasted a little over two hours. It then proceeded to produce the word "reddit" after 195000 generations, and the phrase "hello world" in 580,900 generations." https://lnkd.in/d5enhBP View in LinkedIn

ANY COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEM. "Then, in came Brainfu*k, a programming language that consists of a simplified set of only eight single-byte instructions which can theoretically solve any computational problem in the universe, and things were on track yet again." https://lnkd.in/d5enhBP View in LinkedIn

GENETIC ALGORITHMS BECOME PROGRAMMERS. "The fitness test for a generation should not be if it can compile something, but if what it compiles can compile something (the point being to make the program something like twistable DNA)" https://lnkd.in/d6n97-G View in LinkedIn

COMPLEX CODE. "I believe there is great potential behind the combination of evolutionary algorithms and self-programming software. Much like the evolution of single-celled bacteria into complex forms of life, I’d still like to believe that software can be transformed via evolutionary techniques into much more complicated byproducts." https://lnkd.in/d4FtxBC View in LinkedIn

QUESTIONS. "What if one of the programs generated code similar to the hard-drive format command signature? Or a BIOS overwrite command? Or maybe the AI generates a program with an infinite loop, accessing a network." https://lnkd.in/d4FtxBC View in LinkedIn

INNOCENT QUESTION. “Why would you ever want to write a program that changes its code while it’s running? That’s a horrible idea!” https://lnkd.in/dWhsGg7 View in LinkedIn

ONLY 20 AMINO ACIDS MAKE PROTEINS. "There are 22 standard amino acids, but only 21 are found in eukaryotes. Of the 22, 20 are directly encoded by the universal genetic code. Humans can synthesize 11 of these 20 from each other or from other molecules of intermediary metabolism. The other 9 must be consumed in the diet." https://lnkd.in/eeMC3wc View in LinkedIn

CODE DATABASE. "If computers can rewrite code, however, the game potentially changes. Suppose, for instance, that someone created a database that indexed all known lines of code in world and then could combine them in a specified way to perform a desired function without the input of a human at all." https://lnkd.in/da9p2nE View in LinkedIn
