Everything stated below is my personal opinion.
Met this guy at a conference…
'A bunch of mindless bastards who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.'
e.g.

Patenting gibberish words? Even the suggestion of this is tainted. Why not have his 'imagination engine', 'imagineer' (c) and patent all possible shapes unexploited by fonts/ASCII chars etc as well? Need a new character?, call Steve and make a deal on the price depending on bulk use. I've worked with several ex-defence contractor guys & gals and IMO, they collectively have the morals of one starving rat. As there are things even rats wont do, of course you need lawyers, probably a better career move for him, instead of a disgruntled physicist...
IMHO, this guy may know a little.. but nothing I saw was original, and much of his assertions were gross over statements of what was probably achieved. This is pop-AI crap for investors IMO. I have an A.I. that recently deduced Bach's 90th symphony. I wrote all the code in my own language and on custom hardware. I'm not going to let you listen to it without an NDA, as I must protect my investors. Trust me, I got a doctorate at 20. Of course if you were thinking of investing... This board really should have a vomit smiley :bugeye:
A load of complete dubolicks, oops possibly used a 'patented' word there...
'DEVICE FOR THE AUTONOMOUS GENERATION OF USEFUL INFORMATION..' haha ILMFHO. Crap like this was around years ago, nobody was greedy/vain enough to patent it though. I'm off to patent the manner in which water droplets may fall on Mars due to artificial precipitation. Maybe Calvin should patent his 'transmographier'.
Calm down Automan.
Breath…
nope, something still stinks.
