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.

What’s that? Cookie clicker with paper clips?

Yeah, but as you progress it becomes a bit of a thought experiment about AI.

Ooh. Worth paying $2 for on the App Store?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just play it on a desktop browser, hard to say what $2 is worth to you.

Uhhhh… $2 doesn’t really dent my budget even as tight as it is. But I don’t like to spend money on apps because I’m too old and crotchety about apps not being free with an option to buy ad-free after you’ve played.

I bought it in 2017 and have played it ~6 times since at 4-6 hours per play. Worth $2 imo.
