Is there an algorithm or number such that we could basically pirate data from it by saying “start digit 9,031,643,679 with length 5,345,109 is an MP4 of Shrek”? Something that we could calculate in a day or less?
Similarly: if you write a program to randomly run through all the combinations of pixels on a decently large screen (say, 1080p) you will eventually see every important question and answer that can be expressed on a screen.

Could we already do this by leveraging the Library of Babel?
Genuinely asking, I’m not really sure.
