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 also motivates his
work on the Gödel machine,
which formalizes I. J. Good's informal remarks (1965) on
an "intelligence explosion" through self-improving "super-intelligences".

Einstein
once said:
Ich habe wenig Geduld mit Wissenschaftlern,
die sich ein Brett suchen und an der dünnsten Stelle
zu bohren anfangen.
