Was thinking about what it's gonna take to beat the machines and was wondering if someone like Buddha would have been able to beat a chess program?  They know how to unlock the hidden potential of the human mind.  Maybe some Dianetics would help?  There are indian gurus that can float or something like that...maybe it's about leaving behind the physical chess movement and moving the pieces with the mind...using sight beyond sight...we must know, without knowing!  Whaddya guys think?

It isn't a problem of thinking like a computer. The computer can calculate more deeply and more quickly than we can.

But computers are learning to think like humans (AlphaGo/TenCent)... they are going to learn to assimilate how humans think way quicker than we are going to assimilate some of the strengths of pre AlphaGo/TenCent computers).

It is likely, but it is also likely that they wouldn't give a damn about it. XD
