Cool idea, but wouldn't it be better to make the
fishing nets intelligently navigate *over* the reefs to begin with?
Seems simple to me... put controlled fins on the weights?

Just return "Fuck you" to every connection attempt ;)

Give it an Enema.

BabelFish would disagree. ;)

If I may ask... *what* is so personal that you would continue to *supposedly* care after your death?

Plans for eventual family domination over the earth, and that somehow, pre-knowledge of that eventuality would prevent your offspring from doing so?

Not truly trolling... statistically, mathematically...

Your weather algorithms have a vested interest in being correct... obviously they are not aware of this fact, BUT... if they fail, they die!!!

It is in their interest to continue to be processed

PERIOD!!!

I will not pretend that this gives them a level of self-conscious awareness and self -preservation... but *THE PRESSURE* to do so... is still there

THAT is the *engine* behind evolution
 

Ehhhh yes... if we for a moment allow us to look at the male human brain, it could easily be assumed that much of what we do has little to do with self preservation... the goal is to pass our genes on

It would be my guess, that XS would be more useful as the accepted fringe explorers...

more likely scenarios can be predicted by humans and properly(?) countered...

fringe exceptions as predicted by machine, and countered by sending small handfuls of specialists, seems to make better sense ...

vs.

presuming that the machine's answer is the *only* valid and therefore worth defending against answer..

THAT *is* the error

They will (hopefully) use both techniques...
First to examine actual models, and then form and test theories with their own code.

And the primary reason for creating such a thing, is to allow multiple botnets to battle it out. A simulated bot war of sorts. Who wins, and then determine why?

A potentially (un)?/fortunate side effect is that better bots can/will be written. The ethical discussion of bots that *fix* computers needs to be re-opened... Do we write and deploy bots that perform "search and destroy" missions in order to *increase* security?

I am in favor of such a bot war (presuming the good guys win) , though I am sure that it would lead to a crippling escalation of traffic as the battle(s) rage. I am sure my router will get quite busy once ideas from this project make it into the wild.

And who do we trust? Who/what decides which "repair bot" to release? Should the open source community start a repair bot project?
