Hey all, I remember reading a while back about a theory on being nice to Ai so when the possible uprising happens you would be considered “one of the good ones”. I wanted to discuss it with my SO when I said please by accident to her home assistant while changing music.

I can’t recall the name of it and was seeing if you could point me in the direction of that or discuss it here?

A “fun” one I do recall is the paperclip problem, where human extinction is brought about by an Ai going all in on paperclip manufacturing by removing humans from the equation.

    The point of the paperclip maximiser is that it doesn’t care about you at all, ‘being nice’ to it makes no difference. It just wants to make paperclips, and will destroy you to do so.
