I programmed some creatures. They Evolved.

This man created evolution and decided his YouTube career was complete
-
This is my offering to the YouTube algorithm. Let's hope we resurrect this channel so David can make more amazing videos.
-
Man was consistently like "You can skip to the next part if you don't care about this topic" and I'd say most of us absolutely did not skip ahead.
-
Just an update about Dave, for anyone wondering why he's not uploading: after making that video, he ascended in to Godhood and is now running his own universe.

Dot: Disappears David: I can't bear to watch this violence
-
I like how David feels sad about these computed creatures dying or getting murdered.
-
I have replaced TV with YouTube 15 years ago. This is one of the best videos I have watched on this platform.
-
Its just sooooooo impressive that just a 4 genome computer programmed organisation could evolve that much for just a hyper random selection. Great job!
-
I feel honored whenever he says "Some of my fellow programmers...."
-
David: we won't be simulating weather. Also David: Throws a comet at half the planet.
-
I ran 50 generations and changed a couple of the config parameters. Excited to play around with it more when I get home.
-
Dropped a.video, left the internet. This man ascended.
-
95 views.... it deserves millions!
-
"I'm an innocent and inoffensive dot..." David: "Shut up, let's play a game..."

I think this is the best video I've ever found on YouTube. Not only for the content, although I love both programming and biology, but the way it's presented is genius. You have these structured parts, the simulation, but in between the simulations you have smaller parts explaining everything, really smooth. Thanks for making this video.

David, I watched your video this morning after learning about The game of life. You stepped it up with the little brains and neural connections, genes and mutations. You are excellent in didactics. Please go on. Your channel is awesome.

It took just under a year for this video to start getting the traction and recognition it deserves
-
In these simulations the places where the children were “born” were completely randomized but in reality places of birth are also “inherited” from parents! If your parents lived at the Equator you wouldn’t suddenly appear at the North Pole! I think that is a very significant detail that should be added!

Youtube algorithm's selection has finally brought this video to my recommendations!
-
Well it took 4 years for mr. Algorithm to understand that this content is valuable. Better late than never
