I know, that “Right now no one knows how to maximize either paper clips …”. I know. But paper clips have been the official currency of these debates for almost 20 years now. Suddenly they aren’t, just because “right now no one knows how to”?
And then, you are telling me what is to be done first and how?
Yes it’s an important insight that paper clips are a representative example of a much bigger and simpler space of optimization targets than alpine villages.
Sure, but “alpine villages” or something alike, were called “astronomical waste” in the MIRI’s language from the old days. When the “fun space”, as they called it, was nearly infinite. Now they say, its volume is almost certainly zero.
