In the HN thread, someone asked "how are genetic (algorithms) used?", which is what I'm wondering too. The creator says:
If you're unfamiliar with Boids, it's an algorithm that's been around for a while, and simulates flocking like you see in birds pretty well:

Can't remember where I saw someone do this, but applying the algorithm to humans in games gives you a very zombie-like behavior.
