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.”
