gollark: I wouldn't say the virus has a goal any more than a computer program does or something. The difference is that if you set an intelligent thing a goal, it can reason about the best way to accomplish it.

gollark: Also, large-scale competition burns a ton of resources which would ideally not be used up.

gollark: I say this because you said> do you really want a second rate species succeeding?but it isn't a given that because something won at competition it's actually *better*.

gollark: It's the easiest example I could come up with. You could probably look at history or sports too.

gollark: That isn't really a goal. Virioids aren't going around thinking about their goals and how best to satisfy them. They just do things related to that due to the output of blind optimisation processes.
