Decades ago advanced evolution programs were made, see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBgG_VSP7f8

Whatever happened to these? Based on the extraordinary work that was done then, with today' technology we could likely evolve a conscious, simulated being...

The complete lack of open research in this area these days almost makes me think that something fishy is going on... like maybe advanced beings, or aerodynamic designs, etc... were evolved and then the military swooped in and classified it? I don't know...

I just really, really want to see what is possible with an evolution program these days

There was a program back in 2007 that let you simulate real evolution, you would have creatures with limbs and joints that have variable values of sine-wave movements and the creatures with the best movement got the food and passed on their genes until at the end you had a very efficient animal.

I forgot the name of the program, I wish I could play it again.

would boxcar 2d be representative of evolution in any way?

How would you "evolve" aerodynamic designs?

If you mean by trying things and iterating on the most successful from each generation, that's optimization and machine learning - which is extremely common. But it's done intelligently (using linear algebra) rather than randomly (mutation).

It works like boxcar2d, where all of the variables are subject to change from a random mutations, that you can set the rate of.

You kind of sound like a creationist, but what you have described is, in fact, evolution. "iterating on the most successful from each generation" is basically the definition of evolution.

Do you think I'm a creationist just because I think your comment didn't make sense? I can't see how I "kind of sounds like a creationist" - my comment clearly shows I understand evolution. Did you ever meet a creationist who really understood evolution?

The difference between natural evolution and the iterations that I'm referring to is that natural evolution is random. You get a lot of shit results (most mutations aren't beneficial) for every good one. It's an extremely slow process.

When we do it with math or computers we can target the test cases more accurately. The process is immeasurably faster - enough so that it's no longer "evolution" but instead "optimization".

Holy shit that's cool!

Evolution isn't some magical engineering method. Evolution is as dumb as a rock, which is the reason why it works in organisms.

Maybe there isn't something "fishy" going on, and you are just vastly underestimating the difficulty of evolving something like the equivalent of a human mind on a computer?
