Funnily enough, I was just introduced to this fascinating little game about being a paperclip making machine.

I spent a good 3 or 4 hours playing instead of sleeping.

We are living the paperclip maximizer problem, except instead of paperclips it’s data centers.

Well, we’re not even anywhere close to AGI yet, and the underlying problem of “the people running everything these days are not programmed to value living things - only money”

i wish it was agi doing this, then maybe it could be reasoned with. rich pieces of shit that are detached from reality and humanity can’t.

The AGI you are talking about sounds woke, and that’s illegal, at least in the US.

We thought we’ll get artificial intelligence, but all we got was organic stupidity.

That you don’t need AGI for a paperclip maximizer was obvious a decade ago antipope.org/…/dude-you-broke-the-future.html

ho-ly shit. this was a good read and it damn well predicted where we are almost 9 years on. 2 things that stuck out
“It’s not like I’m predicting that airliners will fly slower and Nazis will take over the United States, is it?”
this one… just like, reading it was like oh boy little do you know.
“It might be Facebook or Twitter messages optimized to produce outrage, or it could be porn generated by AI to appeal to kinks you aren’t even consciously aware of.” This one really hit the nail on the head. Whether its boomers on Facebook watching fake baby interviews, or everyone else on Reddit and TikTok falling for rage bait (and the gooners on X). Just… man. Why don’t people get off their asses and fucking do something about this stuff? Why didnt they? I try to vote, and call local electives, participate in my community and keep people informed but Jesus. i dont know where we’ll end up by 2036 if we aren’t enslaved by that point.

We don’t even know if AGI is possible…
