Running your own AI ecosystem simulation

[@TheRedVipre]

As someone who is fascinated by AI simulations but lacking any ability to code, THANK YOU for this!

[@spinnis]

There is a more advanced similar program called LSES where you can also change even more parameters for free without subbing to a patreon. You can change a lot more things, and it has a map editor. It can lead to a lot more advanced behaviors. The guy stopped developing it tho, so the Bibites might eventually overtake this as the best simulator for this kind of thing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqCqqKudjq2Am5o&t

[@TheJysN]

It's not magic. You can learn it. There are great free courses online for any programming language and AI Concepts.

[@proxy1035]

you can always start to leanr coding. i'd recommend QBASIC64, it's like the original QBASIC, but runs on 64 bit machines, compiles programs into EXE files, and adds like a million new features/commands. plus it has a built-in wiki so you can easily look up the function of commands without needing google (just press F1 while the text cursor is over a command), and the IDE itself is also easy to understand... overall it's pretty beginner friendly compared to a lot of other things out there. www.qb64.org/

[@argenteus8314]

To echo the others, I'd advise you learn to code at least a LITTLE. I'm not very good at it either, it doesn't need to be your calling, but it can be a help a LOT sometimes to be able to do some simple coding. There are plenty of free guides online, and some languages (like Python) are very easy to learn.

[@TheBibitesDigitalLife]

@@argenteus8314 Agreed ! To me coding is like being able to cast magic. Anything you can think of, you can program pretty much. just write spells and they end up making things happen. I don't consider myself a good programmer AT ALL, to develop this project I pretty much just started with the idea and searched on google, asked questions, etc. to figure out how to do it. I honestly think anyone can do it. A lot of people even told me that this project as inspired them to try it out themselves and that's really amazing! Programming should be taught in school ahah

I think I know how to do the graph visualization in a good way. Give the nodes repelling charges, and let the edges act like springs.

I have seen this method before, and it is a really powerful way to visualize graphs. Also, I second the suggestion to make this open source! I would love to contribute!

Sadly, I have no computer, so I'll just sit and wait ;) Maybe you remember me, and my plan to create an A.I inside an ecosystem was to add different tipes of Alive Pixels usong CGOL as base, and each one would interfere on each other in different ways. That way, with two Alive Pixel Types with different rules and that interact, I could maybe improve gliders, and etc. My ecosystems would include Barriers and Broken Barrier that comes from Barriers that had contact with Alive Pixel and got spreaded though the grid. If you wonder how I would actually put an A.I into a CGOL, Imagine a car that is driven by an A.I, but it is so small that all the sides are four pixels. That way, it could learn how to turn and move through the grid while generations run. Saadly, it's just theorical, but maybe someday I'll do it.

[@PhenixArcher]

A simulation where two A.I.’s fight each other. One an intruder running through a dungeon, fighting the inhabitants and looking for treasure, with the goal of getting to the core, and the dungeon’s core seeking to protect its life. Every time the intruder wins by killing the core the simulation starts again. However, the core remembers what happened last time, it remembers everything the other A.I. does. When the dungeon wins, a random (or fixed) amount of time passes without the interference of new intruders. After that time new intruders come. When the intruder survives the dungeon, they leave and all intruders that follow them know what they experienced in the dungeon. If the intruders all die no new information about the dungeon reaches the next intruders. The A.I. that controls the core can change things about the dungeon within a set of rules. Create monster, make them stronger, absorb dead creatures, and many such things. The A.I. can upgrade itself, the core, and the dungeon itself, with some rules and limits. There must always be a direct path to the core from the entrance of the dungeon. Can you do this? Its probably too much to ask, but it might be a fun idea to play with.

Have you considered using the new DOTS architecture? It seems like this simulation would be very well adapted to using that style of development since it allows you to make the whole thing highly threaded and set up for number crunching. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, there's also potential for using a library for GPU-accellerated linear algebra, since you can represent most (all?) neural networks as a set of matrix multiplications, and those can be done incredibly fast on the GPU.

[@TheBibitesDigitalLife]

The simulation you have been making is great, I hope that the future that the looks of the bibites aren't just for aesthetic features like if a bite is more streamline or if a bite has bigger jaws better equipped for hunting.

I just found this channel, and I got to say the ideas you have are amazing. And it looks like this simulator is shaping up nicely.

I've had the simulation going for almost a day now (at 11.18 so about 214 hours simulated) and they have started to form tribes of them just sitting there, and if they get hungry or enough pellets are near them they go for them. No one fights since diet is stuck at 0.01, but they can't tell between meat and plant so they some times kill themselves on meat causing a small suicide pact. Also all of them have more than 2.4 wow factor, so they are all pretty cool looking. So funny to just watch them sit around, but I feel like the 670 of them slowing the sim and the fact that they try to live as long as possible is slowing down the generation rate.

"Follow most complex": makes you follow the bibite that has the biggest brain until it dies. If new bibite is born that is more comlplex, but you are following a bibite, it shouldn't jump to that new bibite. Once the bibite that you follow dies jump to the current most complex bibite. "Walls": most early bibites die because they run away from food. I'd be nice if there were walls around the feeding ground. I'd also be nice if you'd be able to place walls yourself.

It's programmed in C# on Unity !

[@draconianfleet3584]

It would seem that part of my suggestion was accepted probably to how nice it is

[@jeanneboudreau1053]

I love your videos! Pretty amazing project! Are you a scientist? You seem very intelligent 😊

[@krystostheoverlord1261]

Can't wait to start messing with it😈

[@user-vj1fg1fr9f]

I don't know whether you already did it, but could you please link the resources you used to create this? I would love to get more into AI

[@Andrew90046zero]

full video timelapse?

[@hugo-exe2358]

Things you could add: biomes, cold/hot, heat and cold reselistence gene, actual plant life(plants who evolve alongside the bibts).I think that new bibt skins would be cool.I love your content.

[@TheBibitesDigitalLife]

Thanks ! I'll be working on exactly that soon!

[@TheBibitesDigitalLife]

Oops! Thanks for the catch !

[@mortigoth]

It would be a nice 'screensaver' (like the SETI and scientific projects which are full programs of their own)... 😏

[@TheBibitesDigitalLife]

You can pretty much already run it as a screensaver !

[@Falcodrin]

Seti has a visualiser version?

[@liamrathsman]

You, the man🤙🏼
