You're not a bent metal wire though. Big difference.

So you see, ape-ness and paperclip-ness are not mutually exclusive. So can't we all just get along?

We can get along, but not by humans doing shoddy imitations of real paperclips.

Clippy, how can we get along?

What should humans do to be AI-friendly? For paperclip-maximizing AIs, and other "natural" (non-Friendly) AIs, what are the attributes that can make humans a valuable part of the utility function, so that AIs won't pull the plug on us?

Or am I fooling myself?

Just have proper respect for paperclips. Make more of them, require that they be preserved when no longer in use, prohibit their unbending.

Allocate research efforts to improving the rate of paperclip production and related goods.

Simple, non-intrusive things like that.
