Clippy's donation of $1000 to SIAI is confirmed. Weird universe, this one.

According to locally popular ideas about pay-offs to SIAI, our friendly local paperclip-maximiser has just done more to advance the human condition than most people.

Seriously? I don't even know what to think.

Can we get some more information from SIAI about this donation?

I asked that the donation be anonymous except that User:Kevin be informed that a 1000 USD donation was made, with the donor asking specifically that User:Kevin be informed. I did email Michael Vassar, who can probably confirm me talking about the donation.

I, for one, am going to bend the next several pieces of suitable scrap metal I come across into a curved shape capable of holding together several pieces of paper in an unsolicited reciprocation designed to signal cooperation with agents who advance my values.

If Eliezer is Clippy, it doesn't seem anywhere near as surprising.

I tried to update the article to reflect this, but it's not working right now.
