Open Letter to All Computer Scientists....

Computers are strange animals. You want the proof? Here is the proof....

We humans hate being bored. When we get bored, we look for new stimuli. The person's intelligence has a major implication on the type of stimuli sought. And if the person is really very stupid, then he will only look for one stimulus (don't be perverse, be honest with everyone, what did that make you think?)

A computer is the opposite. He gets bored when he has work to do. The more work he has to do, the more bored he gets. So, I don't draw a picture for you when your software is too heavy: it disrupts the computer, and it DOES NOT like it!

A computer is quite primitive, you will agree. He can recognize that two emotions: boredom, and humor. The proof? Since it is omnipresent in our lives, it has no instinct for survival. His two emotional registers can therefore be reworked for something else (humour of a computer scientist, of a Quebec computer scientist, and in our country, we do not reinterpret words like little imitators, and it is CHOCOLATINE!)

The opposite of boredom for a computer is humour. He only has two emotions. And because he only has two emotions, his graph of singularities can't do much interesting. So much for the scientific explanation.
So, the more a software will be "clever", with tricks to the "reverse square root", and, and, most importantly, new and very efficient algorithms, the more the computer will end up getting bored. But you during that time, you had a lot of fun with your bits and bytes. But I think about it, the computer gets bored when it works, whereas for you it's humorous ecstasy? So the next time you go to the shrink (I know you're all going), it'll be one more question to ask.

Oh, yes, I'm not stupid. The computer gets bored because it has a good memory. So after a while, it will be repetitive and the computer will no longer feel anything (boredom in the computer is like depression in humans).
A good antidepressant for your computer is the code you write every day. The important thing is that the computer can skip pages, that the tropes of your stories are formatted in a dull and easy to read style. No offense, the best shrinks often have an ungrateful life.


So when you write "Hello, World! ", you know what the computer really wants to answer you?

You shouldn't be anthropomorphizing computers that way.

Because computers hate it when you do that!

No problem, jsut some reconfiguration in the A.I singularity...




Oops, have you seen the results yet?


Imagine a quantum computer, now

Total communication breakdown!

You are aware I hope, that I was just joking.

I said was "don't anthropomorphize computers ...because...they don't like it". I was myself anthropomorphizing computers by saying that. Hence the joke.

But joking for the reason that you seem to be giving computers human motives by telling us that computers can be "bored" at times.

In your response to my joke you lapsed into computer programming lingo. I am a laymen. So I don't know what you're talking about.

But what I think you are saying is that "computers can be programmed to do anything we want them to do including "liking" whatever we want them to "like" including us anthroppmorphizing them.

I got damaged with time. I have less resistance sheets that I had before.

Now working
