Reminds me of the creepypasta about the guy who left a quake server running for years and his bots learned not to shoot each other [0].

That was only in 2011. At the time it was solidly in "this feels like it could happen, but definitely didn't" territory. Now we're in "Let's see if I can induce this in this guy's browser game" land. Feels strange.

I remember that! I loved the story (albeit it was just a story). Kind of cool to see that this is a possibility soon.
