Is it Life? Crazy AI Machine Learning Robots evolved using Genetic Algorithms

I'll show you the basics of AI (Artificial Intelligence) using Neural Networks using concepts over 30 years old! There's some fantastic simulations (05:44) included!
We'll then learn to teach them, by evolving them using Genetic Algorithms and finally put them into several problems to see if they can solve them entirely on their own!
It's actually not that complex to understand, and the simulations in the video are crazy to watch!
Modern AI or Machine Learning is usually performed using pre-built frameworks, but this is a good bit of background into the subject.

Great video and visualization graphs. I did similar with a modified PPS system on my channel.

Do you have any ideas on how an individual could back propagate to learn within its own lifetime?
Also, i wonder what would happen if you gave the NN many many variables from the actual code. Most variables would be useless, but it might fugue out some that are useful.

But back to your sim, is there a diminishing return on the number of inputs to the creature? I could envision a hundred inputs...would it figure out the good ones, or would too many confuse the NN? just curious

I'm attempting to create a digital creature from particles with few rules...But the required virtual space and sim time needs to be huge. I got some heart beats which was surprising !

You have great content...you'll get 1000 soon! +1 from me!
