One of the biggest global players in artificial intelligence (AI) is Google and their high-tech Brain division has been pushing the envelope for years.

Now scientists working for their AutoML project have a new paper in which they claim to be developing algorithms that can evolve on their own without human input. Even more stunning is their claim that they can induce “mutations” into new generations of algorithms, which mimics principles of Darwinian evolution, namely “survival of the fittest.”

What could possibly go wrong? Though I never did see the movie.

You have not seen any of the Terminator flicks?

Maybe you need to do some reading to update your neural systems. ;)

This is really old. The "Darwinian" algos have been around at least 40 years, and I saw self modifying algos back in the 80s. That these are more complex doesn't mean they are doing anything other than very fast recombinations, ie., iterations of statistical probabilities. Typewriting monkeys in hyperdrive mode and a test loop. Eventually they'll produce something to pass the test.

Has singularity been canceled along with the chiliasm?

Quite a predictable development.
