"A male sex robot named Rocky is in development." So can you buy one of each and mate them and produce the second generation? Genetic programming ftw.

  That brings an interesting point. I'm not particularly well informed here, but i'm curious. Most genetic algorithms I've seen work by taking a source adding a "mutation" then testing it against a goal. How would a genetic algorithm change if there wasn't a defined goal, but instead an eco-system that decides for itself what is most desirable.

    This will create the implicit goal of "reproducing," and "not dying," since programs that fit those traits will predominate.
