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.
I’m more worried about what capital will do with the tech than the tech itself.
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!

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
