Great to see this. Tons more to explore in this space, especially with strides in commodity AI performance.

Best demo I ever saw was ecologist Tom Ray showing Tierra ALife at the MIT AI Lab in 1991. Was a signal for the beginning of a new era, the end of GOFAI and the start of automatic machine trained performance.

Evolution's effectiveness in optimization/efficiency dynamics that Ray first showed in Tierra have been demonstrated in the closed world game players eg AlphaZero but deploying them in open world large scale environments remains open.

That was mentioned at the Linux AI HOwto I think.

In what way does AlphaZero use evolution?
