What I find depressing is that even a (supposed) technical-savy audience
like slashdot is coming up with statements like:
- you cannot simulate a human mind
- you cannot simulate an entire planet
- you cannot generate a 3D VR good enough to fool the human eye (!)
But, on the same forum, other people are giving sensible answer to those
problems, so maybe there's some hope :-)
Ciao,
Alfio
