at a superintelligence will necessarily share any of the final values stereotypically associated with wisdom and intellectual development in humans,” Bostrom wrote. “It is no less possible—and probably technically easier—to build a superintelligence that places final value on nothing but calculating.” And

it has punched the entire world into paperclips. You had to hope someone had remembered to place a “halt” command into is logic somewhere. And though Bostrom’s messianic wire twister is unlikely - of course, no one is going to forget to tell a machine to stop making paperclips - the power of his example is

Bostrom, for example, writes that success in controlling AI will result in “a civilizational trajectory that leads to a compassionate and jubilant use of hum
