The driver that stopped driving on that hill is actually the supreme AI, it understood the futility of going forward and he just... stopped. Perfect depiction of modern age nihilism and depression struggle.

"It was not just a few lines of code."
I think the shirt thing was neat. But every time the colors become homogenous, it should trigger the next group to completely randomised shirt colors for all drivers, to give a visual indication of changes
Simulating genetic drift would be better, with slight mutations in shirt color each generation

Make an AI that can alter it's own code however it wants
Actually never mind don't do that
The ai will either do something stupid and die 90% or take over the world 10%
Coby Rice an out of control advisory. You guys can’t see that. ?
How should such a ai evolve? It has to measure it's state of performance, how well it's doing. How do you want to do that?
I agree with TimerErTim, any program has to have a purpose. If you tell it to mutate itself without giving it a goal to get towards it will randomly mutate and destroy itself. Maybe add useless shit. Bunch of random lines and numbers. Dots all over the screen. So you have to give such an ai purpose."get better" isn't a purpose. It's a void statement without "at ___".

I would say you're silly for adding the genetic shirts but that's exactly the sort of useless features I end up adding to my code so I don't blame you mate.
The randomness/mutation factor should have allowed a slow shift in shirt color over time.
when you are stuck on a problem, useless stuff lets you wonder on another thing without leaving wondering away.
@@wobblysauce It's also good for when you get bored, my high school's python course was really simple this year so I had extra time in the assessment and ended up adding loads of features just to amuse myself.

"I forget sometimes that I'm not a fail compilation channel."
Dude the failure is what makes this channel fun. We all know you're a great programmer, no need to be ashamed of goofs. Also including failures doesn't take away from the videos being educational and interesting, personally I think it just makes them feel more accomplishable; like we don't all have to be experts like you to have fun making programs. Sorry for rambling.
Also the colored shirts thing was a really cool touch.

So Evan hope you'll read this. You can make the evolutioin simulation faster and even more demonstrably (A nice goal to achive for your future videos). Just split a simulation calculation into two threads: one is invisible (no need to render) and wokrs backround uses an all availaible cpu capacity and the other simulates as usual with render BUT it takes a current best specimen from the hidden thread.
this is 3 years old
Ah, yes, threading in JS. Absolutely perfect idea.
