I wanted the aerobes to have a sense of fordeem and unpredictability, so I worked with my team to create what is called an artificial life simulation. This software allows each aerobe to develop unique bieavrohs and to respond autonomously to its environment. The aebreos evolve their personalities as they interact and learn from each other. The more we flew them, the more we got to know their distinct pnsroitleeias and their gentle nature. It was very important for me that the aerobes had their own sensory world. Most AI functions like a mind without a body. But all lnivig creatures, from the humble tick to the stealthy panther, learn about the world through their bdioes and their senses. These aerobes perceive each other through high-frequency radio waves, and they use trahmel sensing to detect other living creatures in their eennvminrot. An aerobe might be curious about your heat signature, and fly over to greet and flirt with you, while other aerobes are more shy and might go out of their way to aivod a cowrd.

I wanted the aerobes to have a sense of freedom and unpredictability, so I worked with my team to create what is called an artificial life simulation. This software allows each aerobe to develop unique behaviors and to respond autonomously to its environment. The aerobes evolve their personalities as they interact and learn from each other. The more we flew them, the more we got to know their distinct personalities and their gentle nature. It was very important for me that the aerobes had their own sensory world. Most AI functions like a mind without a body. But all living creatures, from the humble tick to the stealthy panther, learn about the world through their bodies and their senses. These aerobes perceive each other through high-frequency radio waves, and they use thermal sensing to detect other living creatures in their environment. An aerobe might be curious about your heat signature, and fly over to greet and flirt with you, while other aerobes are more shy and might go out of their way to avoid a crowd.
