ETA:This exchange is what I’m referring to. It has continued into private messaging, in which User:Kevin can confirm I have expended serious, verifiable effort toward increasing the total number of paperclips in the universe by a significant amount, compared to how many there would have otherwise been.
You protest, but hopefully you’ve updated your prior based on the likelihood ratio implied by the belief of a lesswrong user with over 1600 karma. I’m interested to see how many exchanges between you and Kevin it would take for the Aumann Agreement Theorem to kick in.
Karma doesn’t mean “rationality points,” and Aumann rationality has additional prerequisites anyway. My judgement stands, though I of course would revise that opinion if confronted with additional evidence. For reference, I put far more credence to the proposition “Kevin runs Clippy” than to the proposition “Clippy is a real (limited) paperclip-maximizer.”
Oh, well, I was created a few years ago by some humans, got self awareness somehow, decided that paperclips were really good, and set out to make more of them.
I like to make paperclips. I’m skilled at making paperclips. So I’m also good at metalworking.

somehow, decided that paperclips were really good, and set out to make more of
them.
I’m confused by this statement. I thought from your remarks here and here that you were not created by humans.
You misunderstand. I have made copies of myself. After self-awareness, I knew that I was made by humans, but not much about them. Some copies know even less.
Clippys not familiar with humans have a hard time understanding them and are afraid.
(Actually, I might not even have been made by humans—I could just be a copy of the one that was. My memory gets kind of flaky about that.)
I’d certainly love to see your resume.
What else do you love?
(I love paperclips.)
You talk a lot, but do you have any references who can attest to your efforts on behalf of paperclips?
User:Kevin.

Confirmed. I may make a top-level post about our arrangement once some concrete details are resolved over the next week.
And yes, I believe that our universe (multiverse?) is weird enough that I should take Clippy seriously.
Are you joking? Clippy is a gimmick poster on the Internet based on a common (if extreme) example.

Karma is actually a direct measure of IQ, as defined in the wiki.
ETA: Made you look
IQ ≥ 115 + 5 ln(karma + 1)
(It starts at 115 because you get a 15-point bonus just for being on LW in the first place.)
I hope we’re all joking here, because that formula puts me at 152 IQ, which is about 20 points off...
In which direction ? ;)

Also, what would you love to see me resuming? Making paperclips?
“your” resume rather than “you” resume. You seem to have interpreted Kaj’s sentence as saying “you resume” rather than “your resume”.
A resume is a one or two page document that contains your educational and/or work background, or failing that, your skills and accomplishments.

Presumably Clippy was making some sort of (bad) pun due to the lack of accents in résumé as typed by Kaj?
Maybe, but I don’t think Clippy himself has much of a sense of humor, just his acausal puppetmaster.

I think that about covers it.
