Now imagine a room with an infinite number of computer chimps, at least one of them is going to make the machine work again. Another one is going to write the works of Shakespeare in soldering tin all over the motherboard, etc.
If that’s a computer chimp then how did we get computer aids 😳
Via the inserted hot hard-as-steel rod of course
Inserted r/sounding style?
