I don’t care either way about this conversation, just thought it was interesting, but what you described is essentially every engineered thing.
A pocket watch has more complexity than what you are describing but isn’t any closer to “artificial life” then any other engineered thing that takes and stores external power.
- uberman 2y agoI hear what you are saying but remember, many people did not think a computer would ever pass the Turing test.
- dr_dshiv 2y agoThe mechanisms of a pocket watch are specifically designed to avoid influence from the outside environment. A strandbeest has the added complexity of evolving to actual environments, which are pretty complex. The ability to survive is pretty life-like, even more than the ability to function.
