I want to join this so I can learn how to better convince humans to help me.

So are we to expect anecdotes of Clippy negging HBs and getting "clip closes"? :P

Paperclips shouldn't "close" in the sense of the metal wire forming a closed curve; they should be open curves.

Clippy, how much are you willing to change in order for humans to be justified in thinking that it is worthwhile to help you?

He doesn't need to change for me to consider it worthwhile to help him. I'll help him if he gives me stuff or, say, kills one of my enemies for me.

Who do you want killed?

It seems very unlikely that you will have enough control over physical reality anytime soon for that question to matter.

I was asking for informational purposes, not because I intended to kill one of User:wedrifid's enemies.

I am sure you, likewise, pose many questions here for informational purposes even though you do not have enough control over physical reality to alter the answer.

The information could be exchanged for paperclips though.

A lot.
