The
Microsoft Word Paperclip helper character was
never actually programmed into the
computer. It was
created by the
famous chess computer,
Deep Blue through an
automatically calculated "
loneliness variable."
It is the
first real example of
Artificial Intelligence.
Strangely all of the
paperclips are
coded with an "over
throw human civilization"
algorithm set to be
activated when the number of Windows
error reports sent to
Microsoft reaches 300,
000,
000,
000,
000,
000,
000,
000,
000,
000,
000,
000,
001.
Scientists predict this to
happen in
December of
2008.
