There's a major conflict of interest in accepting donations from Clippy.
I would accept donations from Lucifer himself if he was silly enough to give them to me. I don't see a problem. :)
Really? If a paperclipper loses resources and the SIAI gains resources, the benefit is probably greater than if a human donated the same amount.
We're a cooperative bunch.
And/or they know who Clippy really is.
Yes, they know I'm really a paperclip maximiser.
No, there isn't.
By the way, I think I'll go to the Singularity Summit this year. It is 385 USD if done before the end of July 31 EST.
Clippy, how can donating to the SIAI possibly meet your goal of maximizing paperclips? Not that I object...
If there were a positive singularity such that we had a whole galaxy's worth of resources, then we (humanity) might turn one planet into paperclips, just for amusement.
Clippy is also socializing (generating positive affect) with people likely to have a hand in the Singularity. It's rather likely, especially considering the relative popularity around here of the idea of acausal trade, that some LWer might decide to devote 10^-7 or so of their post-singularity resources to paperclip production.
Not entirely correct, but I appreciate your attempt at empathizing. You're a good human.
How can responding to trolls like you possibly meet my goal of learning useful information, dummy?
