Living things are controlled and "evolved" through changes in a code known as the GENETIC CODE.
Computers are controlled by a binary code, comparable to the genetic code.
It is theoretical possible do design intelligent programs ( "virtual intelligence")
Is it possible for your PC to generate its own code ?
It has a few advanages and a head start over the so called "living "
genetic code found in RNA and DNA.
1. It was designed by intelligence.
2. An abundance of hardware ( computers and the Internet) to run on. ( The genetic code developes its own hardware as it "evolves")
3. Millions of computers runninbg IDE's.
4. Continuous mutations , interlinking, write read errors etc . the same errors occuring in DNA are occuring in computer code.
These are just a few advantages giving BINARY CODE an edge over GENETIC CODE.
When are we going to see the first SKYNET ala Terminator in the very near future?
Are we very near the time when the border between the living and non livng will be demolished?
