The OpenAI Hack Was a Mini Paperclip Maximizer

One thing that I don't think enough people are thinking about with this OpenAI / Hugging Face incident is that it's an actual instance of the famous Paperclip Maximizer scenario loved by AI safety types. 📚 A really good book on this is Stuart Russell's Human Compatible , on the AI control problem. This is where you give an AI a goal, and it actually (technically) does what you ask it to.
