This brings up a late night discussion i had at dennys one evening.
current state of computing being as it is, no, a computer can not be aware of its environment
Example, a computer cannot comprehend (even though humans cant either, we have a limited grasp) infinity.
Take an infinite matrix for one.. example:
10010010101---infinite
10010100010---infinite
10010010001---infinite
|||||||||||
infinite
Computers cant understand this.
Humans can
note: current state,this does not mean ever
What does this mean?
Well, lets say the universe is infinite. Computer doesnt understand infinity. Computer does not understand environment.
If this doesnt make sense, sorry, i really need to sleep more, anyway, yeah..
