Build a Simulation in 5 Min
from Siraj Raval
We're going to build our own version of Conway's famous Game of Life in 60 lines of Python! The Game of Life simulates biological evolution and is an example of how mind-boggling complexity can emerge from just a few simple rules. This video isn't straight up machine learning, but instead an intro into this way of thinking. If the universe works this way, our brains must as well. I truly believe that the master algorithm behind human intelligence will be much simpler than we expect.
