Well, once we make the IBBL, we should be able to run an evosim under those conditions and make complex behavior emerge spontaneously, right?
Anyway,
- For one thing, they'd be physically huge, so we should have noticed them by now. In fact, maybe we have- big berthas sort of are a K-selected species, because they have a small population and are very well suited to their environment, so they become huge and kill everything else...
- Maybe not teaching and learning, since there isn't a single bot in existence that learns during it's lifetime, but at least the basic attributes of a K-selected species.
- It should be a preferable strategy in such an environment. R-selection dominates mainly in new or unstable environments.
