Tunzelbots A modern demo of evolutionary programming creating rendered virtual lifeforms, bots with generational variance trying to walk. Put together by Eugénie von Tunzelmann.
Not sure any of these algorithms are anywhere near defining an evolving life form. But then again, the best algorithms are the simplest ones.
So maybe at some point there will be an API for creating life forms. And the smartest, and the luckiest ones will evolve to form communities, cities, nations, and then there will be wars, and famine, and disease, and they will need something to believe in, to be stronger... So they will create religions, and it will be a whole lot of fun, until some life form makes a weapon capable of wiping them all out, and presses the wrong button.
Evolutionary algorithms are really fascinating both to the study of evolution but also in practical applications like optimization of irrigation systems and circuit board layouts. One of my favorite examples is Evo-Lisa http://rogeralsing.com/2008/12/11/genetic-gallery/
Indeed ;)
ReplyDeleteam pretty sure that this is a sorcery ... :)
ReplyDeleteYep..hocus pocus ;)
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu i'm still waiting for science to make "download food" technology available...
ReplyDeleteJust add vibrational resonance and then look out.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm I think you should learn to cook, is like physics,....phun ;D dindi a
ReplyDeleteI like that idea Trey Pitsenberger
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu , i do learn how to cook. it's just......................
ReplyDeletejust......easy to click and have a pizza? dindi a

And then there will be simple life forms again
Corina Marinescu haha... something like that
ReplyDeleteKuba Rychlik do you think they'll like tiramisu? ;P

First thing I thought if when I saw that and thought of a dismembered hand 'crawling'

ReplyDeleteencore une preuve !

ReplyDeleteWell, they might... And it would definitely be a pity if they blew themselves up without even giving it a try.
