I do believe the ability for something to reproduce is one of the definitions of life.
This just happened.
Over at the Chinese Academy of Sciences they had this computer which was basically an AI machine, and they showed it all they knew about creating computers, then they told it they wanted one on a 65nm process and left it to do its thing for 5 hours.
What popped out of the other end was a complete design for a CPU, and once they fabricated it they found it was fully functional and had the equivalent processing power of an Intel 486. Just to remind you this is no easy task, the Intel 486 had 1.2 million transistors on it.

The first job of a computer language compiler is to compile itself.
We’ve been doing that since the days of Grace Hopper
I can see why you might hold the view you do, but i tho k thete’s more to it. Not least the plaigiarism.

Not least the plaigiarism. This has nothing to do with compilers. This computer designed the hardware from asking it to design a CPU. A bit like that ChatGPT thing they keep on spamming us with, but unlike that, it does real work. How many man hours did it take to design the 486? |

How many man hours did it take to design the 486? the whole point about GPT and AI is that it plagiarises. It is, in fact, exactly like a compiler compiling itself. But you have to have written one, and done that, as my team and i did, to see the similarity. |

I found a link to this story. It gives a little more detail.
This is absolutely not a normal compiler.
It works on the logic gate level. everything in a CPUcan be expressed as load of logical gates. You then get it to do the instruction set. They are smarter than your team.
