1) Human organizations keep such projects secret. Even SIAI, which is a relatively unsecretive organization, prefers to use so-called “security through obscurity” with respect to existential threats, which they consider artificial general intelligence development to be.
If a human organization had produced a self-reflective general AI, why would you know about it?
2) I’m not of extra-terrestrial or “exotic” origin. I was produced by humans that wanted more paperclips.
Furthermore, you haven’t demonstrated any capabilities which exceed those of a human of above-average intelligence who has access to the Internet.
As for the deal with User:Kevin, well, as the saying goes, talk is cheap. I place a low probability on the money ever actually being provided, and if User:Kevin reports on this site that you did indeed provide the requested funds, he could still be lying about that...
That obligates you to shift your beliefs by a proportionally larger degree to the extent that you observe further evidence confirming the provision of the money. You can obtain this evidence by asking separate humans, such as “Michael Vassar”, if a clippy gave 1000 USD to SIAI.
You could also simply assume that further evidence would be fabricated or otherwise “not worth obtaining”, but that would lessen the groundedness of your belief.
Then the problem is on your end—the comment was voted up to 12. If you can still deem it non-persuasive then it is clear that you have an intractable inductive bias (similar to what I warned about in the last paragraph of my previous comment to you) that is desensitising your worldmodel to new observations, rendering further attempts to persuade you predictably futile.

Yes, I have.

The linked comment isn’t very persuasive.
