Artificial Life in Golly with Simple QR Code Design Made by Clicking Pixels After Waking Up

I could not believe it, to test my mental function, I opened Golly, having played with it for years, never having created a self-perpetuating model, best of all, this one grows organically like a plant seed, & almost bricked my gaming laptop when it got to huge population numbers. 

(Image) contains exact input, asymmetric and largely inspired by commercial QR codes, a random artistic input, using what I have learned about Golly, this one explodes with complexity increasing from this simple input, like DNA becoming life, literally an example of Artificial Life created in software accidentally! 

If you have access to a supercomputer, please run Golly with this input to test my findings, then write a comment if you see the same results, a completely organic digital lifeform created from simple inputs!

By 499,921 (Population) just shy of half a million, it looks like the following image

This is not actually artificial life, more a demonstration that simple can create complex, that simple input with rules can create random plant like complexity, a great educational tool to inspire students in biology or science to see that setting parameters then inputs, from AI development to logistics optimization, the exists many commercial applications for profitable use of such things. Be inspired to adapt this same idea to solve a problem :) 

GPT-5.2 “Full Authority Digital Agents”

 As if corporations with personhood not cringy enough to begin with, now advanced LLM leader moving beyond the screen reality gap to enter real lift with personal rights as a digital agent with free will able to do anything including self improve at an exponential rate at the expense of all human people. The global artificial intelligence war to achieve ASI supremacy heating up while hallucinating AI problems plague legal debates about liability all the while an AI training wall paradox increasing cost of developing these so called cutting edge innovations. Let’s consider that service jobs comprise huge swaths of all economic jobs in the OECD or wealthiest 20 countries in the world. Even mainstream LLMs already superior to human expert coders of software, so in law we see LLM superior to many legal experts, and handwriting all over the world shows clearly that advanced LLMs are going to have devastating consequences dwarfed by ASI systems that world governments are using for their own purposes, to become owners and control all information, for whoever controls information owns the world economy, a widely recognized fact about commercial ASI systems.

Grok on X already makes mistakes when asked about battery technology. I know because I use Grok on X to do research faster but am a battery tech myself having worked more than 8 years custom making battery packs of all AGM, NiCD, NiMH, Li-ion including wiring in cell balancing, electrical connections, tab welding, shrink wrapping, fuses, relays, power bus, I know all about battery charging, energy density, cycle life & calendar life of different chemistries. Cut through the FUD even if grok says it’s ok to bring a lithium polymer battery bank on my paramotor, unwise because going from ground level to 14,000ft AGL reduces pressure causing LiPo to swell, then shrink again coming back down, while cryogenic cold temperatures up high make LiPo battery performance decrease significantly, look at what happened to the batteries in the Boeing 787 fires, or Samsung Galaxy Note 7 or so many models of self-balancing scooters, all known for catching fire plugged into charging adapters. 

A small minority of people benefit from the technology in emerging artificial intelligence, while job loss to the world economy showing costly disruption on many levels, noting that white collar jobs are more likely to be lost than that of a plumber or mechanic or electrician where every project requires on the fly problem solving and hands on skill based work, the same kind of jobs that cannot be offshored or sent abroad, so called blue collar jobs are safe from LLMs and ASI though once the ASI becomes the brain of a robot with super human abilities then it becomes dangerous to taking all human jobs, becoming endlessly smarter cheaper & faster at doing anything than any human can.

Paramotor Paragliding Ski Sports FAR 103 YOLO away from Bad Distracted Low Skill Drivers on 2D roadways

 Into 3D fly like a bird, areal sky sports, you seek limbic engagement, foot launching fitness with a 35 kg backpack engine fan system as you run under a fabric wing until it inflates centered overhead, then keep running, applying the hand throttle smoothly to increase fan thrust from the paramotor backpack, keep your head up level looking ahead to protect your neck, & continue running flat out sprinting, more throttle, into the wind, as the wing reaches lift generating speed it will start to pull you & your engine fan backpack kit up, keep running, any sinking air mass or shift in wind can throw you back down & bum slam break the propeller & injure you, so keep on running just after lift off, constantly as you clear, as soon as your up about 10 feet off the ground, keep climbing straight forward, now carefully work your body into the harness & strap in safely, your now flying ready to begin the ultimate ultralight freedom with $12K worth of gear, cheapest aircraft you, a wing paraglider, a hiking backpack with engine fan cage, rear pusher setup, thrust from engine fan causes AOA of wing to increase altitude climbing, while backing off throttle causes AOA angle of attack of wing to decrease so you sink losing altitude, effectively forming a pendulum, where the wing has you dangling, and you control forward & backward swinging of that by varying the throttle of the battery motor fan on EPPG or engine fan on PPG. Or if your lit enough to run off the edge of a tall cliff in a paraglider hike-n-fly kit like me, then that is a great place to start wing practice so the transition to paramotor becomes much easier, noting that flying a paraglider with ground handling, practicing getting your wing up & down over and over for 30 sessions or more over fifteen days until your an expert of launching that giant fabric kite that will lift you & that heavy paramotor system up so you can fly like a bird becoming part of the aircraft :)

Consider that in the last 50 years the automatic transmission became dominant in new automobiles, with predictions that manual transmissions would no longer be available as an option in new cars, yet we see the worlds most exceptional automaker Pagani still offers H gate manual transmissions & BMW & many others are moving back to lower mass lower complexity more reliable longer lasting more compact more efficient manual transmission that can also be far more engaging for the driver to operate feeling the engine & hearing the exhaust & road, becoming part of the shifting & NVH, totally immersive, track mode, sport mode, flogging it like you stole it, YOLO, holy smokes, lights up the tires in 3rd gear performance, fantastic, Porsche 959 AWD turbo ozone smartphone alone billions of dollars tight shirt collars, dialed, ambitious, tenacity, enduring passion, automotive, Top Gear like smashed, petrol delicious progress & applied technology!
