Pardon the use of the typewriter: I have come to prefer
discrete machines to continuous ones.
When I was in Cambridge recently I hunted unsuccessfully for an estimate of
N, the number of neurons in the human brain. Soon after this Donald succeeded
in finding a reference. He tells me that… N = 10,000,000,000 roughly.
I visited Oxford last weekend. Donald showed me a ‘chess machine’
invented by Shaun and himself. It suffers from the very serious disadvantage
that it does not analyse more than one move ahead. I am convinced that such
a machine would play a very poor game, however accurately it scored the position
with respect to matter and space. In fact it could be easily be beaten by
playing ‘psychologically’, i.e. by taking into account the main
weakness of the machine.
When in Oxford I succeeded in hypnotising Donald… Would you agree that
a very typical property of the brain is to think in analogies? This means
taking only a part of the evidence into account. Do you know of any reference
to Russian electronic computers?
