I don't think it's possible. The monkeys aren't monkeys, it's a prediction engine that decides what the next token - be it a letter, word, number, whatever - there's never any point in that process where it's going to start having self reference. It's a dead end. They're trying to work backwards from the end point of 6.5 billion years of brutal selection to re-create a process they don't understand.
Yeah, I was reading a reply where some guy said he could be a turing machine if he had enough spare sheets of paper to work with and that's not how human working memory works. If we assume that a cow is a spherical object in a vacuum then sure, buddy, you can simlulate a turing machine. But in the real world your meatsack can only manage so much stuff in your head and eventually you'd reach a point where you would no longer be able to keep performing the tasks necessary to do your turning machine thing. that's one of the most important things computers have going - You can store shitloads of information in memory and hard storage without losing track of it
We can perhaps hope that eventually they begin to learn from the experience. (in a strictly evolutionary way..) :P

I was wondering. plus, the lifespan of a monkey and stuff.
