In this riveting article, we're informed that keeping secrets out of logs is just as easy as solving world peace with paperclips—no silver bullets here, folks! 🤦‍♂️ Just a "blog version of a talk" complete with #screenshots, because who doesn't love reading transcript rehashes when a video exists? 🎥🙄

Life is a box of paperclips
__________________________

Not all of us will be the paperclip
taken from the box
and used to keep things together.
Most us will be bent out of shape
and used to fix a problem
used as a bored person's distraction
and then tossed in the trash.

-- W. O. Henry

“[M]ême si vous en douterez au début, Universal Paperclips raconte une histoire. À vous de voir si vous arriverez à la comprendre.”

#trombones #Paperclips

Right now I'm finishing a round of #universalpaperclips #paperclips - and this time it's my first time, where I actually am finishing to the bitter end with no clips and no drones left at all.

I'm wondering, if a single drifter will survive.

PSA: if you don't know the game yet, DON'T GOOGLE IT!

@David_Hollingworth they have management issues and a grossly overvalued p/e but that is just what i heard through grapevine, am sure they work well for most but in biz you have to be careful and if they pressure then you need a parachute #sales #paperclips

Oh no #paperclips

It's the circle of life!

30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is a heckuva lot of #paperclips.

I blame @leo for making me aware of that game.

Uhh sooooooo:

"He continued to elaborate, saying, “We trained the system–‘Hey don’t kill the operator–that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that’. So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”"

Have they played the #paperclips game? This starts from an extremely stupid place. #ai #drones

Today in AI training and alignment adventures, a very paperclip-maximizing anecdote from a US Air Force AI simulation. "We trained the system – ‘don’t kill the operator.' So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower."

Whoever cast Graham Greene and Elaine Miles in Ep. 6 of "The Last of Us" deserves a raise. I bet the intersection of NEXP fans and Last of Us fans is very small. Still, we noticed. #paperclips

Friendly reminder: don't buy bone-shaped paperclips unless you want to give them to someone you hate.

@bufetalmeida, Exacto. Eso lo ha dicho muy seriamente Nick Bostrom analizando los peligros de la IA en su libro Superintelligencia. Con la famosa factoría que debe optimizar la fabricación de clips y destruye la humanidad porque entorpece la fabricación. 🤦‍♀️ 🖇️ 🖇️ 🖇️ 🖇️

If you bind your documents in enough #paperclips not only can you prevent others from reading their contents — you can also avoid papercuts.
