We have to close the cycle and make the self-replicating systems fully recyclable and have the waste streams managed. The humanoid bots and factories need to be transportable via mass produced SpaceX ...

Google claims it's been able to simulate 'self-replicating' digital life, but its 'primordial soup' needs a pinch of salt. Story by Rich Stanton • 10mo.

The experiment showed that self-replication was possible in 50% of Llama 3.1 trials and 90% of Qwen2.5 trials. What came as a surprise was, the models were shown to overcome obstacles, adapt to ...

Self-replicating AI is here. Learn how it works, the risks it poses, and why global cooperation is essential for safe development.

Self replicating things… Plants, yeasts, any other form of life is to some extent. :) What stops the endless evil replication of doom is the shortage of resource.

A self-replicating form of artificial life has arisen from a digital “primordial soup” of random data, despite a lack of explicit rules or goals to encourage such behaviour.

A new study that left data to interact in a digital "primordial soup" has found that self-replicating patterns emerge. In 1970, British mathematician John Horton Conway created a zero-player ...
