Is -this-, finally, the killer app? or, the way Skynet comes about?
No. And No.
I thought as much ...
(At least you've taken the time to reply - even to a tongue in cheek comment - instead of taking to the downvotes, which I appreciate ...)
Considering EVM fees, I find it endlessly fascinating that people are paying for computation per cycle, on a distributed VM.-
It blows one away ...
(Also, a pity that Conway is not here to opine on this.)
If it’s ubersecure maybe it would outperform Moore’s Law, quantum computing, and the hyper-intelligent AIs.
The most expensive implementation of Conway's Game of Life ever - over $2,000 per step! (Probably the slowest too!)
The 'largest distributed search site of cellular automata', Catagolue, which discovers new patterns everyday, has enormous potential of pattern finding, trading and synchronous exhibiting. Could we embed soup search as a backend PoW

I wouldn't bet on my phone's processor being functional in the XXIInd century, but this code will likely still be in EVM, ready to run. Sure, it's a very different beast, but I still find it really _cool_.
But that's my point, it is already NOT in the EVM , the cost is so high that the author didn't commit the code to it - ethereum fell at the very first hurdle!

Unfortunately for naysayers, Ethereum or other blockchains will achieve cheap and long running dapps sooner or later.
That being said, The Paris Agreement and I hope you’re right.
Hell, I’ll give you the tokens myself just to see it go!
Good excuse to play with Rust or AssemblyScript https://docs.near.org/

Then try to calculate the energy / processing power spent per step.

Never mind 100 years in the future, this game of life implementation isn't running even now . As the article says, it would cost $80 just to register the code to run it, never mind funding each compute step. And yet your phone could compute the next 100 years of this ethereum GoL calculations in far less than a second!

Meanwhile, most of todays blockchains will be dead. No nodes left to sync with. Maybe the blockchain concept will live on in a new form, but even now, there seem to be dying blockchains that are very difficult to connect to and use (e.g. Dogecoin, at least before the recent price surge)
I guess a real threat to all historical code would be the end of open computing, and the requirement for any code run anywhere to be signed and censored by a megacorporation. Something we're getting worryingly close to. But in that world, most of today's blockchains will quickly die, too.
