The summer ended. Nobody had solved intelligence.

But a field had been named. Programs had been written that did things programs had never done. A community had formed around a shared conviction: that intelligence was a problem you could approach scientifically.

What came next were setbacks, funding cuts, and the slow realization that the problem was much harder than it looked. That story is Module 03.

But before we get there: one more question. Even if a machine could do everything a human can do (answer any question, hold any conversation, solve any problem), would that mean it understands?

That's what this last chapter is about.
