Software called DeepCoder has solved simple programming challenges by piecing together bits of borrowed code
Remember the old jokes about replacing light bulbs?
Well, how many computer programs does it take to replace a computer programmer? Maybe not too many, as it turns out; but hell, they can potentially self-replicate anyway, so even if it takes millions of them, that’s a lot of programmers who will end up out of jobs.

George Dyson Interview: A Universe Of Self-replicating Code
Another great interview by Edge. This time with George Dyson, who talks about the universe of self-replicating code.
"What we're missing now, on another level, is not just biology, but cosmology. People treat the digital universe as some sort of metaphor, just a cute word for all these products. The universe of Apple, the universe of Google, the universe of Facebook, that these collectively constitute the digital universe, and we can only see it in human terms and what does this do for us?
We're missing a tremendous opportunity. We're asleep at the switch because it's not a metaphor. In 1945 we actuallydidcreate a new universe. This is a universe of numbers with a life of their own, that we only see in terms of what those numbers can do for us. Can they record this interview? Can they play our music? Can they order our books on Amazon? If you cross the mirror in the other direction, there really is a universe of self-reproducing digital code. When I last checked, it was growing by five trillion bits per second. And that's not just a metaphor for something else. It actually is. It's a physical reality." http://edge.org/conversation/a-universe-of-self-replicating-code
