I was wondering if there was any work in the field of evolving 'creatures' moving in a virtual space, beyond what Karl Sims did 23 years ago. https://www.karlsims.com/evolved-virtual-creatures.html https://www.karlsims.com/galapagos/index.html

It would be nice if Karl Sims could open source it as it is really inspiring visual example in the field of Artificial Life, next to seeing the generations of metuselahs unfolding in Conway's game of life

Another interesting article in the field of Artificial Life: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.03453.pdf

Do you think that software should be architected as autonomous agents for it to scale infinitely? I watched an Alan Kay video [1] some time back. In the video, he had an argument about how software systems cannot scale unless the basis is the most complex "computation" system that we know -- that system being our own biological system.

Emergent Tool Use from Multi-Agent Interaction[1]. Also these agents lay a claim to being the most god damned cutest things ever.
