@kimdanes It would be a lot easier, yes. But all evolution does is select from what has already accidentally evolved and picks the best one to survive. It doesn’t magically make the best imaginable species. If it did that do you think it would have designed us, a species whose main obsessions are tribal warfare and global annihilation?

@rotatingskull right, good point. So in other words, evolution is buns

@kimdanes @rotatingskull if you’ve ever written a genetic algorithm you know: They Suck

@kimdanes @rotatingskull that’s why I’m writing a genetic algorithm to create a population of algorithms that are superior to the genetic algorithm

@jordyd @rotatingskull the genetic singularity approaches

@kimdanes @rotatingskull it may take a bit, this population of algorithms died via nuclear annhilation and the system has reset
