Stephen Thaler's Creativity Machine
I The machine that invents berättas om Stephen Thaler och dennes "Creativity Machine".
Technically, Stephen Thaler has written more music than any composer in the world. He also invented the Oral-B CrossAction toothbrush and devices that search the Internet for messages from terrorists. He has discovered substances harder than diamonds, coined 1.5 million new English words, and trained robotic cockroaches. Technically.
...
"[Thaler's] first patent was for a Device for the Autonomous Generation of Useful Information," the official name of the Creativity Machine, Miller said. "His second patent was for the Self-Training Neural Network Object. Patent Number Two was invented by Patent Number One. Think about that. Patent Number Two was invented by Patent Number One!"
...
Thaler's technology was born from near-death experiences of dying computer programs. Its foundation is the discovery that great ideas are the result of noisy neurons and faulty memories.

Det låter fanastiskt. Kanske lite väl fantastiskt. Min gissning är att Tina Hesman inte har den blekaste om vad hon skriver om, och okritiskt drar på i värsta aftonbladetstil. En tanke som genast slår mig är att det ska bli roligt när hans tänkande maskin stämmer sig själv för att patent #95 inkräktar på patent #67 och #15. =)
