Techbros love to talk about the problem of a super AI that doesn’t understand human values, is told to make more paperclips , and then eats the earth and all the universe because thats what it was told to do.

It is completely lost on them that capitalism, the invisible hand of the market, is 100% this, but just for the “line goes up”

Anyway, enjoy this fun clicker game while at work today

Edit: someone re-skin the game to make my point explicit. “Invade country steal slaves” “force villagers to grow spices” “cut down forest to sell as IKEA furniture”

Please and thank you

Now that I’m a member of the idle rich, I’d like to engage in philosophical discussion.

Are idle games like this akin to blockchains in that they serve as nothing but wasted processing time? Struggle.

Actually since there are no human inputs the effective value of a metric ton of paperclips is now zero. Enjoy your new status as a pauper.

This is not a problem because I have simply hidden the auto snippers behind a curtain.
