What kind of special insight do you have regarding Clippy? I think this is a very important issue, because before we hand over such responsibilities to an alien being, we need to know as much as we can about Clippy's motives and capabilities.
I don't have any real special insight regarding Clippy.
I think there is practically zero chance that humanity makes Clippy it's decision theoretic enforcer and that this post is somewhat out of touch with pragmatic human values as they exist right now.
Oh, sorry, i assumed you were saying that you had some knowledge of who or what Clippy is. But obviously you're in a position to see that you yourself are not Clippy. I feel terribly silly now.
No need to feel silly, as I wrote that sentence I thought that it might be confusing.
