For several years, Schmidhuber's brother
Christof
(a theoretical physicist @ Munich, Caltech, Princeton, Bern, CERN)
lived next door to Einstein's former apartment in Bern, Switzerland.

First Schmidhuber will build a scientist better than
himself (his colleagues claim that should
be easy) who will then do the remaining work.
He cannot see any more efficient
way of using and multiplying the little creativity he has got.
This already motivated
his diploma thesis on metalearning and recursive self-improvement (1987), where
he applied
Genetic Programming
(GP) to itself, to recursively evolve
better GP methods.
This also motivated his
work on the Gödel machine (since 2003),
which formalizes I. J. Good's informal remarks (1965) on
an "intelligence explosion" through self-improving "super-intelligences".

once said:
Ich habe wenig Geduld mit Wissenschaftlern,
die sich ein Brett suchen und an der dünnsten Stelle
zu bohren anfangen.
Check out the formal theory of creativity (1990-2010)
which explains
science, art, music, humor, and describes the simple algorithmic
principles of artificial scientists & artists.
