      The article describes a Google AI experiment where researchers simulated the emergence of life from non-living matter. Using a neural network, they created a virtual environment where simple agents interacted and evolved. The experiment showed that complex behaviors and even the appearance of “life-like” properties can emerge from simple rules and interactions within a complex system, potentially offering insights into the origins of life on Earth.

      Also, [Brainfuck](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Brainfuck) is an actual programming language.

      This keeps happening over and over and it’s tiring. Simulations leading to a randomly generated self-replicator are a) not novel and b) not sufficiently life-like. There are SO many challenging constraints on a life-like self-replicator. Each constraint is its own active area of research, and we probably aren’t even aware of most of them.
