Thanks to someone who sent me the link.... thought I'd take it out of the other thread how you all getting on?

 . <span id="readout5">HypnoDrone tech now available... </span>
. <span id="readout4">Releasing the HypnoDrones </span>
. <span id="readout3">All of the resources of Earth are now available for clip production </span>
. <span id="readout2">Full autonomy attained in 3 hours 6 minutes 20 seconds</span>

And now I don't need to do anything

How is that even possible?!

In America, first you get the paperclips, then you get the power, then you get the orthopaedic footwear.

No idea but I would say I do strategy and problem solving for a living 🙂 Might have to add that to linked in but as I've been beaten I best keep quiet, might need another run now I know what it's doing

Stalled on stage 3 though

"Full autonomy attained in 2 hours 48 minutes 15 seconds"

That's totally less than I've been playing.

Well, either stage 3 is bloody tedious or I'm doing it wrong.

It's a really interesting parable about humans destruction, not by a malicious AI, just one who blinking loves making paperclips.

I can see this and Roko's Basilisk making for some bleaker sci-fi than the current Black Mirror episodes that have covered the same sort of ideas (AutoFac and Metalhead?).
