"A Norwegian team has made the first piece of hardware that uses
evolution to change its design at runtime to solve the problem at hand
in the most effective way. By turning on and off its 'genes' it can
change the way it works, and it can go through 20,000 - 30,000
generations in just a few seconds. That same number of generations
took humans 800,000 - 900,000 years."
20,000 generations in a few seconds.
This is a very good example of what could happen when we finally develop self-conscious
artificial intelligence. It would immediately set about to improve itself. Within a few
hours, it would become vastly more powerful.
