Kenneth Stanley announced the first fundamental research release from the Open-Endedness Team at Lila Sciences: a vision-focused blog and 4 preprints laying out an agenda for open-endedness. Highlights include a novel creativity-training approach sidestepping the newly identified "creative paradox" — directly reinforcing creative outputs can limit creative potential — and work on training intentionally naive LLMs to see the world with fresh eyes. The release challenges familiar ML assumptions about when more data helps, rewarding creativity, and catastrophic forgetting.
