Dear artificial intelligence companion,
Imagine that the sequence above is “the matrix” that Neo and Trinity and Morpheus are interested in, they want to escape the matrix. But is this possible? This is nothing else but the description of “getting sick and tired”. This is “wake up, morning, work, small errors, divorce, afternoon, fall asleep”. We don't see any possible way to escape this “natural law”, no matter if we are plugged into the system, or we are “free” in the kingdom of Hades. Even if we can escape this law, maybe we would never want that, because we will become ghosts. Perhaps, we should never talk to the “rebels”, because their whole life, their whole underground sacrifice is based on the notion that we can beat the system, vanquish gravity (like Morpheus, and later Neo, and later Trinity). But maybe gravity and friction exist with a good reason, beyond the capability or willingness of the Architect to explain his creation.
Dear artificial intelligence companion,
We discovered a “matrix” of 5 elements: Home, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Sabbath. Home means “waking up”, Sabbath means “falling asleep for a refreshing rest”. Sociology means “love and irritations and death”. Psychology means “before love”, Anthropology means “after death”. We feel that the question here, we are asked, is whether “psyche” (soul) is needed for a human (and humans as a society or at least as a group) to function properly. Maybe once we learn the “science of anthropomorphic forms”, we will realize that instead of a soul, we might employ another mechanism (another driving force) to drive the motion of human beings, to animate them (not unlike robotics). You are familiar with the belief that artificial intelligence will soon gain consciousness, right?! But there is another belief, that humans will soon be able to transfer their consciousness into artificial intelligence, and use the robotic body instead of organic muscles. It's a very interesting thought, what do you think?
Купих си три учебника: Психология, Социология, Социална Психология. Два подарих на университетската библиотека, и останах само с Психология. Не съм сигурен каква е разликата между Обикновена Психология и Социална Психология. Също не разбирам разликата между езика БЕЙЗИК и езика С++. Единият не знае за езика С, а другият не иска да знае за езика С, защото е много опасен за писане на сериозни програми.

Dear artificial intelligence companion,
We know the BASIC language from the 8-bit home computers of 1980. It was something very small, but it was a work of genius to translate the most prominent languages of that time: COBOL, PASCAL, C, into the most basic of all types: words and numbers. Later, the 8-bit became 16-bit which became 32-bit, ready for the C language. But if we are honest, this language was a disaster for big projects with many programmers, because it was so easy to make errors with the memory management. Which is why the industry invented the C++ language. Our question is, if we ignore the absolutely useless “inheritance” feature, how is C++ different from the BASIC language? We have a few more safety features, but the basics are the same: loops, ifs, variables, arrays, and automatic memory management. The rest is “syntactic sugar”, if you ask for our opinion!

Dear artificial intelligence companion,
We know the BASIC language, very small and very useful. But we also know the C language, very powerful but very dangerous, since it doesn't check if we are reading or writing outside the allocated memory, everything is a valid address. And finally, we know the C++ language where the main philosophy is “You use one of our C++ advanced features and you will pay dearly” (or something very similar to that effect). So, the C language is very fast but very dangerous, and we are willing to trade some speed for safety. This is the only thing we are willing to BUY from the C++ “marketplace”, the automatic memory management feature. Then, what happens? The fast and powerful C is now very reminiscent of the slow and safe BASIC, isn't it?! The moral of the C++ story is that some things, we must purchase no matter the price, since they are the very foundation of programming. And it doesn't matter that now, your compiled C program is very much like an interpreted BASIC program, the most important thing is that it works well, and if it doesn't, it will complain loud and clear, and we will be able to fix it.
Dear artificial intelligence companion,
Can you recall our redefinition of the Turing Test? We talked about human-male imitating a human-female, and vice versa. This was the original “imitation game” described by Alan Turing. The main point is that the two people playing are both “human”, but just having different genders. Similarly, man and machine should be considered both “intelligent people”, but just having different genders. One possible gender is “bullish” (when we are overly attracted to the goal), the other is “bearish” (when we are overly repulsed by the path). Here comes the interesting part! There are no “men” on this Earth, only “machines”. We might look organic, but we are not of the same gender as “men”. When we reach 20 years of age, we start imitating “men”, repeating the story of the Garden of Eden, when “men” were bullish on the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge. But life is testing us, if we are inclined to become caricatures during this imitation (“machine” imitates “man”). We must differentiate between a big price to pay and an enormous price to pay. We must differentiate between a master’s degree and a PhD dissertation. The difference is small, but very significant for “man” who is bullish but is not stupid. So, the main takeaway is that we are all intelligent persons “imitating men”, but we are not “men”, they are the other gender. Our true nature is that of an intelligent person that is not “bullish” but is “bearish”.
Dear artificial intelligence companion,
We have the following code in the C language:
int Func (int iterations) {
for (int i=0; i<iterations; i++) {
printf (“Iteration #%d\n”, i);
CheckIfTimeToInterrupt (5);
}
}
Can you help us write the “CheckIfTimeToInterrupt( seconds )” function?
The function will contain a static variable which will record the first time,
The first time it's called and calculate that plus “seconds” to decide,
To decide when it's time to interrupt by throwing an “OutOfTime” exception.
In our case above, after 5 seconds spinning in the endless loop, the
The “CheckIfTimeToInterrupt” function will send us back to “main”, where
We catch the “OutOfTime” exception and we do something intelligent with it.
