The type of system needed to produce sentience isn't known, but we know the stuff in our skulls is one variant. Maybe there will be steady progress toward the necessary number of switches, machine language, etc. On the other hand, it could...

Apologize for triple ; the spacebar posted my message(!?) Perhaps assimilating humans was more efficient than simply exterminating them. But I really believe that the machines required people psychologically, as humans require them today....

...100% opposite of what I would have said given the same question. What would you have said?

Neo's code can be thought of as a binary file, or an ineffable revelation. What's cool about the matrix universe is that it doesn't just muse about possible technologies, nor is it only an elaborate metaphor. It's philosophy directs the ac...
