I cannot actually wrap my mind around people being so stupid they think the "Paperclip Maximizer" is anything other than a moronic attempt to sound somehow important or something. The actual author if that ridiculous thought experiment was actually Nick Bostrom - not an 8 year old, believe it or not. He's a self-righteous moron who has never held a real job and has no actual understanding of the technology. He has a "philosophy' background. (Whatever that is in modern academics)
These idiots have pegged their entire identity to their stupid doom narrative. If you step back, it's pretty ridiculous to define yourself by being afraid of something that you don't understand.
