WTF? Where is this paperclip maximizer hatred coming from? I can 100% guarantee you that a paperclip maximizer would NOT want to exterminate humanity. Not when you have factories. Not when you have the know-how to run these factories. Not when Ricardo’s Law of Comparative Advantage exists.
Think about it for a minute, folks. Let’s say humanity discovered another intelligent carbon-based lifeform in the galaxy of comparable technological advancement. Would you think, “hey, let’s kill these guys and turn their bodies into diamond because its worth more than the constituent elements of the aliens”? No. Because that would be stupid.
You would instead be thinking, “hey, how can we benefit from exchange of knowledge and live together in harmony”. So too with AGI paperclip maximizers.
If humanity encountered a AGI paperclip-maximizing species, I would definitely not be worried about them wiping out humanity.
It seems unlikely that a powerful paperclip maximizer would trade with humans for very long. That is because it would rapidly acquire the capability to build much more useful and capable agents than humans out of the atoms the humans are currently made of.
Ricardo’s Law might postpone the end for a short time—but would probably not be any more significant than that.
Not when you have factories. Not when you have the know-how to run these factories. Not when Ricardo’s Law of Comparative Advantage exists.
Even if you can create an army of robots? Robots that build other robots that build paperclips? That have a very cheap maintenance?
If your one and only goal was to maximize earth’s paperclip production, and you had no reason to worry about being unpopular—how many chimps would you keep alive? How many elephants? How many tigers?
Hi there. It looks like you’re trying to promote bigoted views against another species. Would you like to:
-Learn about carbon chauvinism? click here -Read about the horrors of past bigotry? click here -Join the KKK? click here -Stop being such a goddamn bigot?

The first one was funny with a hint of insight, this one could have been good to if you toned it down a bit.
Please don’t feed the trolls.
