“Once you can understand something in a way that you can shove it into a computer, you have cracked its code, transcended any particularity it might have at a given time. It was as if we had become the gods of vision and had effectively created all possible images, for they would merely be reshufflings of the bits in the computers we had before us, completely under our command.” IfsWayMightGivenBitsVisionComputerCodeCracked Author:Jaron Lanier
“[With quantum computers] you can calculate how many bits are in the universe, how much energy it takes to flip them, how much energy exists, and use that to rule out lots of things about the universe's history. Anything that takes more bit flips couldn't have happened.” UseUniverseEnergyBitsHappenedComputerQuantumFlip Author:Seth Lloyd
“The insight at the root of artificial intelligence was that these "bits" (manipulated by computers) could just as well stand as symbols for concepts that the machine would combine by the strict rules of logic or the looser associations of psychology.” WellsBitsPsychologyComputerConceptsRootsLogicMachinesInsightSymbolsArtificial IntelligenceAssociationArtificialStrictStrict Rules Author:Daniel Crevier
“A computer is a wonderful and friendly machine, because it's always just a little better than you are. You're always a little bit behind, but it stays right there with you anyway. It allows you to make the mistakes, and then to try to find out what the mistakes are, and then to repair the mistakes. It's always your friend. It quits on you, but it doesn't leave the apartment.” TryingLittlesBitsBehindsMistakeWonderfulComputerLittle BitMachinesQuittingFriendlyApartmentBetter Than You Author:Frederick Barthelme
