These are some great points, I'm just surprised why there isn't more discussion on this article. Perhaps because it got buried under a bunch of articles posted just shortly after?
I hadn't read it until now partly because of the relatively large number of articles posted recently and partly because the title turned me off reading it for reasons which I can't currently discern.
Worried about the post turning you into a paperclip maximizer?
Yeah, same here. The red paperclip aspect didn't quite click with the opening paragraphs. It is only mentioned briefly towards the middle.
