Alexandros was referring to a metaphorical paperclipping. I'm surprised you are not more aware of humanity's use of a paperclip maximizer as a metaphor for everything that could go wrong with AGI. A top-level post by you about why a paperclip maximizer would cooperate with humanity indefinitely would help.

Thank for this report on your surprisal, and what would help, and the assumptions behind discussion of paperclip maximizers.
