What If Intelligence Didn't Evolve? From Noise to Programs in Brainfuck [video] (youtube.com) 3 points by guld 4mo ago ↗ HN
[–] guld 4mo ago ↗ TLDR of the video:Complex self-replicating programs emerging spontaneously from random noise byte strings with:- zero mutation- a sharp phase transition that looks like gelation- and a proof that blocking deep symbiogenetic ancestry trees prevents the transition entirely- written in a variant of BrainFuck that can read and write its own code called BFF.
