St. Louis Post-Dispatch: The machine that invents
Something a little different for the front page, and the creation of the Science category. Roland Piquepaille pointed to this story about Stephen Thaler's "Creativity Machine", a neural-network based program that's good at inventing:
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 main contribution to the neural network system is the introduction of "noise" -- essentially random elements that lie outside the rigid network rules. This noise is the spark of creativity, forming serendipitous connections.

most of them probably more advanced. Vast majority of trades on the big boards are already driven by results from systems with complexity-based sw engines.
There's project at Stanf0rd which is well on its merry way to reinventing all significant electronic circuits patented by humans. After it's done that, watch out! That machines can invent is already beyond disputing.
This noise hack is unlikely to be efficient, unless there're reasonable ways to "shape" the noise. As A.E. said, g0d does not play dice.
