ゼロの示す未来 - Human vs Computer


When I had dinner with my friends a few days ago, someone mentioned Sudoku, and the first thought came up in my mind was - with the computers we have these days, we can easily write a program to get the answers for us in a split second!

In the Gundam Wing series, there is an ultimate computer system called the "Zero System". It is so powerful that it can even show the pilots their own future.

This is really not a new phenomena after all - that is where the idea of "Matrix" stews from - computers can actually become so powerful that they can do virtually everything in a much more efficient way, especially in doing analysis and making decisions.

This has already been proven in real life a few years ago - when "Deep Blue" beat Kasparov (the world champion of Chess) in year 1997.

Then the question is - why human?

This reminds me of a movie I had seen back in 6 years ago.

In the movie, the 女主角 was kidnapped, and in order to save her, the 男主角 needed to win a game of chess - with the 女主角 being the Queen and himself being the King on the huge chess board - which means - he will be smashed if he got checkmated.

Towards the end of the game, the computer made a bad move trying to take the "Queen" - which gives him the chance to take the game in the next move.

What the 男主角 did was - he put himself in front of the "Queen". The computer was so surprised by the move that it actually gone into "errors"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that what Jesus did for us 2000 years ago?!?!?!

What is special about us, is God gives human beings the ability to LOVE.

As usual, the answer has always been in the bible:

歌 林 多 前 書 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
我 若 能 說 萬 人 的 方 言 、 並 天 使 的 話 語 、 卻 沒 有 愛 、 我 就 成 了 鳴 的 鑼 、 響 的 鈸 一 般 。
我 若 有 先 知 講 道 之 能 、 也 明 白 各 樣 的 奧 秘 、 各 樣 的 知 識 . 而 且 有 全 備 的 信 、 叫 我 能 夠 移 山 、 卻 沒 有 愛 、 我 就 算 不 得 甚 麼 。
我 若 將 所 有 的 賙 濟 窮 人 、 又 捨 己 身 叫 人 焚 燒 、 卻 沒 有 愛 、 仍 然 與 我 無 益 。
愛 是 恆 久 忍 耐 、 又 有 恩 慈 . 愛 是 不 嫉 妒 . 愛 是 不 自 誇 . 不 張 狂 .
不 作 害 羞 的 事 . 不 求 自 己 的 益 處 . 不 輕 易 發 怒 . 不 計 算 人 的 惡 .
不 喜 歡 不 義 . 只 喜 歡 真 理 .
凡 事 包 容 . 凡 事 相 信 . 凡 事 盼 望 . 凡 事 忍 耐 。

愛 是 永 不 止 息 .


A computer can never be the same!
