“Since the AIs were more likely to get ”killed” if they lost a game, being able to crash the game was an advantage for the genetic selection process. Therefore, several AIs developed ways to crash the game. One was particular memorable, because it involved the combination of several complex actions to crash the game. These would have been hard to find by conventional beta testing, since it involved several phenomena human players would instinctively avoid.”
