You create a situation where robots that flash lights get less "food" and you assume that getting less "food" means your traits won't be passed down. Then you change the code to reward what you judge got more "food," and because of that, the robots evolve. This would be a more interesting experiment if the code could somehow pass itself down to generations and it did so based on success at getting food, as opposed to some programmer watching what happens and adjusting the code himself. Even that wouldn't take into account factors beyond gathering food, for example, if the other robots ostracize liars.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 5:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Robots Learn to Lie and Deceive Each Other in Search for 'Food']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/20/robots-learn-to-lie-and-deceive-each-other-in-search-for-food/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/20/robots-learn-to-lie-and-deceive-each-other-in-search-for-food/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is this so they can find the food before we do? <br><br>What a waste of money. Is there truly any useful logical reason for "studying" how these robots react? Unless they are being trained to take from humans by whatever means.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[flgunner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 6:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Robots Learn to Lie and Deceive Each Other in Search for 'Food']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/20/robots-learn-to-lie-and-deceive-each-other-in-search-for-food/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/20/robots-learn-to-lie-and-deceive-each-other-in-search-for-food/</guid><description><![CDATA[Most computer scientists think within say about 70 years human beings could be at risk as a species from intelligent machines.  Why would they want us around?  Maybe a few controlled support people?  Computers run our lives now anyway and we can't pull the plug.  I used to sit and have a scope probe and chase their bits around trying to keep them up and running but now-people are almost out of the loop.  Sooner or later.......Going back to my planet now.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Davey Rockefeler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 10:06PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
