A user researching RSI with ChatGPT found it credited Schmidhuber's 1993 result as the first real self-modifying algorithm that 'improves' itself, calling him the most brilliant yet cursed researcher in AI. Schmidhuber himself quote-replied, confirming he solved neural self-reference in 1993 (ICANN paper 'A self-referential weight matrix') and citing the follow-up ICML 2022 modern self-referential weight matrix that learns to modify itself.
