Right and this works well for humans who want to observe the data and understand how the model might function from a technical standpoint. They can look at the synapses and essentially slowly understand how things are connected up and draw rough conclusions about how it comes to certain decisions.
In a model where that is in constant flux ? Impossible. You can’t observe and understand something that is changing as you observe it. You could freeze it and look at it while it’s “unconscious” i suppose, a bit like brain scanning a patient.
Will this constant flux always work? Of course not. And that is why natural selection is a necessary process to evolve it. The models that fail have to die and the models that succeed go on to form the evolved artificial lifeforms.
The compute power to achieve this sounds like we’d need a Dyson Sphere of energy though. We’re talking about the need for a simulation of millions of different creatures, interacting in different ways, all functioning as proper AI that calculate and adapt. If you think we’re burning absurd amounts of energy with AI currently just wait until these projects really step up.
