what if we have an infinite generator that produces computational numbers, such as a GAN for bytes, and from there, we generate a logical deterministic solver to understand what's the most feasible optimal solution?

reading Genius Makers is good however I can't help but feel bad while reading the part about the Google, Meta, etc, poaching the market

interesting approach, it will be interesting to merge programs trees between, just to generate β€œchildren” of already generated images

maybe using some kind of seed for each
