Jim looked over the computer program and knew what Rick had done. He'd crafted a computer program that could teach and upgrade itself, probably to do his algebra homework for him. In order to do so, he'd hit a simple test routine where the program would include harder and harder equations to do the job. However, it had continued to alter itself until it could now compute the nature of reality. And somehow alter it.
The program was even now determining what it's original purpose was and was coming up with a way that Rick would never have to deal with algebra homework again.
Jim noted all this, even as he though to put in a command that would alter all the girls in the computer class to his devoted sex-slaves.
Suddenly, as if he was reading it in a textbox, Jim realized that if he did this - it would be as if it had always been so. (Unless he specified otherwise.) It would be perfectly normal for him to have six sex-slaves.
The question was: was this too petty? Could he do this? What about the effect on the environment? Or should he try something really expansive!
