OpenAI's offices were sent thousands of paper clips in an elaborate prank to warn about an AI apocalypse - Lemmy.World

OpenAI’s offices were sent thousands of paper clips in an elaborate prank to warn about an AI apocalypse::The prank was a reference to the “paper clip maximizer” scenario – the idea that AI could destroy humanity if it were told to build as many paper clips as possible.

OpenAI sent $25 worth of paperclips.
Human Resources: “But you still took one home without asking, which is theft. Go clean out your desk.”
Everyone works from home now. If you havn’t taken a box of office supplies home yet you are probably braindead.
