I'm always in awe at how such a simple algorithm (natural selection) can create such beautifully complex systems (organisms or even super-organisms).

What’s the algorithm here? Can you whiteboard/pseudo code it haha?

Reminds me of this article about the deceptive simplicity of evolution: http://pchiusano.github.io/2018-04-21/evolutionary-methods.h...

Not saying all of that is true. It seems to be pretty much philosohpy at this point. But maybe one day our methods scale up enough or evolve :-) in some other way and there will be a breaktrough in evolutionary AI, like there was in neural nets.
