I believe that in about fifty years' time it will be possible to program computers, ... to make them play the imitation game so well that an average interrogator will not have more than 70 percent chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning.

The original question, "Can machines think?" I believe to be too meaningless to deserve discussion.

Maestro Lovelace 🞶 in her commentary, in which she stated the problem that is still cited by most people in an argument about the possibility of machine intelligence: "The Analytical Engine has no pretensions to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. Turing pointed out that Ada might have spoken differently if she had seen, as he had, evidence that electronic equipment could be made to exhibit a primitive form of "learning," by which programs would be able to eventually master tasks that had never been specifically programmed, but which emerged from trial-and-error techniques that had been preprogrammed.

Johann von Neumann was one of the elite quantum physics revolutionaries in Gottingen, Germany,

Art is considered a smart commodity to buy in times of economic crisis as in general it holds its value over time and in some cases increases its value." So not only is it a good investment, but you can also move them around tax-free cuz no one's looking: "The goods in freeports or under customs warehousing procedures are technically "in transit" even though in most freeports of this kind there are no time limits. This system allows the stored goods to gain value and it allows for tax-free sales. Goods can enter a freeport, stay there indefinitely, and be traded an unlimited number of times without ever having been taxed. Goods entering freeports are not subject to customs duties. Goods sold in the free ports are not subject to value added sales tax. No withholding tax is collected on capital gains"
