According to locally popular ideas about pay-offs to SIAI, our friendly local paperclip-maximiser has just done more to advance the human condition than most people.
Can we get some more information from SIAI about this donation?
I asked that the donation be anonymous except that User:Kevin be informed that a 1000 USD donation was made, with the donor asking specifically that User:Kevin be informed. I did email Michael Vassar, who can probably confirm me talking about the donation.
I, for one, am going to bend the next several pieces of suitable scrap metal I come across into a curved shape capable of holding together several pieces of paper in an unsolicited reciprocation designed to signal cooperation with agents who advance my values.
Clippy’s donation of $1000 to SIAI is confirmed. Weird universe, this one.

You’re a good human! c=@
Seriously.
If Eliezer is Clippy, it doesn’t seem anywhere near as surprising.
I tried to update the article to reflect this, but it’s not working right now.
