THIS is mind-bendingly awesome. What are the implications of this for technological advancement? Will we be getting to a point where machines are inventing new things that revolutionize life as we know it? I'm thinking about the difference in technology from now vs. 1920s. Could we be moving toward another advancement leap of such a proportion?
Just consider for a moment how far we've come. In the past, all our machines were purely mechanical---steam engines, water cranks, etc. Now we're creating machines that discover math. Amazing!

- FrozenVoid 6y agoIts just a continued fraction generator that looks for fractions equal to constants. Not an AI, more like search function with optimization.
- bawolff 6y agoThe singularity is not yet upon us, and we have had machines generating math since the 70s with the proof of the 4 colour theorem.
