My wife read your post....she says you didn't take the analogy far
enough.
If the underlying machine is misbehaving, we would debug it and flash
the BIOS, or get a new machine.
If the application isn't working correctly, we'd patch it. If the
problem isn't fixable we'd delete the app and get a different one.
We wouldn't want Chuck 1.0 to be deleted.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT I won a point ... maybe
Today there is a minor protest of sorts about women getting unwanted
attention. One of the young ladies in the crowd started a dialog with
me. I trolled and baited her a bit. It devolved a bit to the point
where she said even if she chose to wear no clothes at all, she has the
right to be unmolsted and not receive any attention from anyone.
“People are not animals, they can choose to control their behaviors”
she said. She happens to be a computer science undergrad at the
University of Utah.
I told her I disagree. I told her that we are a meat robot. Our
operating system, which I call “natural man” just wants to eat, sleep,
screw and sometimes attack those that get too close to his mating
partners.
The human element is the app. I run Chuck 1.0
Apps are a form of AI that can reprogram itself. But some apps let the
OS take over too much of the time.
And a naked women or one dressed and looking in a particular way always
triggers a non-maskable interruupt by the OS and that always attempts
to run the “screw the girl” routine in BIOS.
She looked puzzled for a moment, cocked her head at an angle, narrowed
her brow and told me that I might be on to something. Then walked
away.
I think that was a win?
