evolutionary prog-ramming

I need to learn quickly how to do AIs. I already understand what are GAs and neural networks. I just need a site with tips and such, how to speed up the evolution, and research on what algorithms are the fastest. This is because what I am currently doing feels a lot like a slightly improved bogosort.
So.. is there anywhere a.. crash course for beginners?

>how to speed up the evolution

Use a faster computer. Problem solved!

no, i mean, like, dude, algorithms

You aren't funny.

I was trying to help.

In that case, you failed.

learn quickly how to make AI

my face when the entire CS community has been working on this full force for decades and nobody has figdured it out

So no one really knows?
What a relief, I felt stupid for a little while when I couldn't get my algorithms to converge faster than a crippled snail.

First, you might want to read about genetic drift on Wikipaedia, and maybe even implement a simple simulator yourself, to properly understand how it works.

That should give you a pretty important insight about genetic programming: your specimens are not spreading over any given plateau unrestricted, the size of the population provides a strict upper bound on how apart they could be.

Metaphorically speaking, you are trying to find the anus of an elephant, you might think that what you're doing is throw a bunch of fireflies on it and watch them converge on the target, while what's really happening is that your fireflies move as if in a spot of a narrow flashlight beam, following their random movements.

This ranks among the worst analogies I have ever had the displeasure of encountering.

Doesn't understand anything about AI.

HERE'S YOUR FUCKING AI:

X = REMEMBERED PAST SUCCESSFUL ACTION OR RANDOM ACTION
WHILE (NOT SUCCESSFUL)
DO X
DID IT WORK? REMEMBER IT; SUCCESSFUL = TRUE
DID IT FAIL? X = RANDOM ACTION

Don't worry. I don't understand why your mom always seems to have PMS.
