The whole talk is only about 8 minutes long, and the whole thing is interesting, but the part that got stuck in my head from when I first watched it a year or more ago, and the part that causes me to re-visit it now, is a few brief seconds of video showcasing a piece call "the pygmies". In it you can see they've programmed some very rudimentary "pygmies" to hide when they hear a sound and come back out after all is quiet.
The thing that captures me so much about this is how a simple, programmed action can give such a lifelike quality to something so rudimentary.
Watch the video and you'll see what I mean.
