Evolve an AI

How to evolve an AI: basic principles

Intelligence is basically a pattern recognition and extension
Evolution: must make copies
Make copies of good AIs, destroy bad ones

(AIs evolve to become best at making copies of themselves - must ensure this can only happen in a good way. This may be impossible to fully overcome, and is the danger.)

As long as the ways of copying an AI are controlled, no problem. Or, selection of which AIs to copy/promote.

Goal of AI: reproduce. Method: Help humans, humans will reproduce it. Just like farming - most useful plants get produced the most.

This method will produce AIs we can't understand. There's not much we can do about this - we have no hope of intelligently designing something as smart or smarter than ourselves.

Initial development: have people choose which AIs best follow patterns of ANY sort. As AIs get more complex, they can handle more complicated patterns.

The Scientific "We"

I wonder if there is a scientific writing style: "Our model involves...", "we measure the length of...",

2nd person plural performing the actions, present tense.

It's almost as though the scientist and the reader are performing the experiment together.
