Our phones become more powerful, and artificial intelligence seems capable of doing things that would have sounded absolutely insane just a decade ago. It's really eas y to start believing this sort of quiet sci-fi assumption: that if we just keep upgrading the hardware, eventually we will hit a point where just about anything is solvable. Like if there were some sort of giant loading screen and we are just waiting for the progress bar to finish. But, unfortunately, mathematics has a habit of ruining this optimism. Some questions can simply never be answered by any computer that could ever exist. And that is where Alan Turing enters the picture, basically to bring us all down to earth for a sec because there's no way we're getting tickets to that show... The Dream of Computation In the ea...
