Can any of the people who upvoted this explain to me what this adds to Less Wrong that merits a top-level post (rather than an Open Thread comment)?
ETA: If Clippy is actually donating $1000 to SIAI, I don’t begrudge the karma; but this is still a post with one good idea that could have been explained in a paragraph, dressed up in a joke that I feel has gone on a bit too long.
It was cute and funny enough for me to get an upvote. I didn’t have a better reason than that; the Clippy joke hasn’t worn out for me yet, but then I’m relatively new here. I am however a lot less likely to upvote top-level Clippy posts in the near future, unless they really top this one in humor or insight.
