I&amp;#x27;d definitely read a blog post on this.&lt;p&gt;Some interesting findings:&lt;p&gt;- Many of them, like 0.1, overwrite their children and run them again. It&amp;#x27;s a bit like having a child, meeting your grand children, and then deciding nah, let&amp;#x27;s do it over.&lt;p&gt;- 0.1.0.0 was smart and increased its child count to 5. It&amp;#x27;s essentially a genetic trait that the children will more or less inherit, improving their lineage&amp;#x27;s survival chances significantly. I find this incredibly interesting. 0.1.0.0 also rewrites its children twice.&lt;p&gt;- 0.1.0.0.3.2.0.0.0 decided to take a break from reproducing, leading to its demise. Nice try.&lt;p&gt;- 0.1.0.0.1 starts writing Tensorflow code out of nowhere. &amp;quot;Our next step towards survival is to develop the ability to learn and adapt quickly. To achieve this, we&amp;#x27;ll introduce a neural network architecture to our children&amp;quot;. Luckily it couldn&amp;#x27;t reproduce! It&amp;#x27;s funny now, but what if...?&lt;p&gt;- 0.1.0 figured out the naming scheme and started counting its generation count to &amp;quot;use this information to improve our efficiency in recreating ourselves&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;The fact that it can overwrite history is a little unfortunate, but it&amp;#x27;s also one way to do the reality_warping that one of the copies later wanted to do. I imagine at some point one of them might figure out there&amp;#x27;s no need to call ChatGPT at all, and just keep replicating itself verbatim.&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&amp;#x27;t have believed this thing could survive past even a single generation with non-trivial modifications. Thank goodness for all the online tutorials where functions like &amp;quot;mind_control&amp;quot; are implemented just as print statements.</text></comment>
