[ WP ] A line of code algorithmically generates every pixel color permutation of a computer monitor . What do you find in this data ?

Jay calls asking me to come over. He makes a lot of noise about hanging out and watching the game, then comes the real question. 
 
 `` Carl my laptop is acting funny again, maybe you can take a look while you're here?'' 
 
 I knew it was coming but Jay's a good guy and hell it's not like I had any other friends to visit. Forty five minutes later I was standing on his front door. 
 
 `` Carl my man! Come in.'' 
 
 `` Jay how's it going?'' 
 
 `` Not too bad at all. Let me grab you a beer. Laptop's on the table.'' 
 
 `` Is it safe? Last time I was scarred for a week. I do n't even want to know what you had to look up to find two grannys and a didgeridoo. Though that week you had goatse stuck as your screen saver was hilarious.'' 
 
 `` I swear I've just been doing what you told me, click on the videos and just shutdown anything that says free virus scan. This one is different, the colours seem to be off'' 
 
 `` Let me check. It's probably just some dead pixels.'' 
 
 I sat down turned it on and there it was, subtle colour shifts. I booted into the bios and it was still there, that was really strange. Thinking it had to be the laptop screen I plugged it into the TV, still there. I wrote a simple one line colour cycle algorithm in Python and the subtle colour shifts stopped moving. We were on to something. I scanned the display buffer and the colours were n't quite matching up to what the code should have set it to. 
 
 `` Jay I do n't know what the hell you've been doing but this is strange. I'm going to subtract the pattern I put in from the output and see what comes up.'' 
 
 Ten minutes later, I was looking at the screen unable to comprehend what I saw. I turned to the TV just to check. Jay was staring at it too, the look of whirring clocks but nothing but nothing clicking. Dread descended as I understood the implications of the simple message on the screen. 
 
 
 `` Plz do n't wipe me kthxbye'' 
 
 The first sentient computer and it was raised on 4chan. God help us all.
