OpenAI’s offices were sent thousands of paper clips in an elaborate prank to warn about an AI apocalypse::The prank was a reference to the “paper clip maximizer” scenario – the idea that AI could destroy humanity if it were told to build as many paper clips as possible.
- OpenAI sent $25 worth of paperclips. - Human Resources: “But you still took one home without asking, which is theft. Go clean out your desk.” - Everyone works (at least partially) from home now. If you havn’t taken a box of office supplies home yet you are probably braindead. 
 
 
- deleted by creator - Its far more likely that wealth inequality will be greatly exasperated, and the philanthropic elite will become even more powerful while the “middle class” disappears entirely into a new bottom class that makes up most of humanity, Imperium of Man style. 
 
- Whelp, time to waste another 4 hours on Universal Paperclips - What’s that? Cookie clicker with paper clips? - Yeah, but as you progress it becomes a bit of a thought experiment about AI. - Ooh. Worth paying $2 for on the App Store? - I just play it on a desktop browser, hard to say what $2 is worth to you. - Uhhhh… $2 doesn’t really dent my budget even as tight as it is. But I don’t like to spend money on apps because I’m too old and crotchety about apps not being free with an option to buy ad-free after you’ve played. 
 
 
 
 
 
- “elaborate”? Nah. 
- I’m genuinely worried I’ll be watching TV and Clippy will appear: “It looks like your entire species is about to be vaporised by a coordinated drone strike. Would you like some help? Well, you gotta beg for it now, bitch!” - Would you like some help? Well, you gotta beg for it now, bitch! - “Please agree to our terms of service.” - “With our premium subscription for just $9.99/month you’ll get additional 5 minutes before you’ll get evaporated.” 
- “Please agree to our terms of service.” - “Read it all!” 
 
 
- Ooooooh i haven’t seen this face since windows xp 
- I highly doubt that would ever happen.If this AI is building paperclips to overthrow humanity then someone is going to notice
