Common side effects include rash, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, homicidal urges, drowsiness, insomnia, headache, and dry mouth.


You forgot blindness. If you're transparent, your eyes won't be able to refract light. Which is good if you also have homicidal urges, but awful if you get diarrhea.


And would you get invisible diarrhea?

(This might be the more desirable of the two outcomes. Otherwise you the man may be invisible, but everyone sees your intestinal contents floating in mid-air.)

From the article:

"The plaintiff filed for a patent in 2021 for a device generated by AI, listing the inventor's name as "DABUS, an artificial intelligence that autonomously invented this invention." Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience (DABUS) is an AI system developed by Stephen Thaler, a computer scientist and president of Imagination Engines, an AI technology company.

"Japan's Patent Office rejected the application, saying inventors are limited to humans under domestic law."

So, this is less about the genesis of the invention and more about its attribution.


Same as in the US then, incorrect headline and so far it's not about whether wetware or software invented but whether someone insists on listing software as the inventor on the paperwork.
