Oh, hijack away, this is pretty cool.

Are those three laws things what they referenced in I, Robot?

And Suze, I suspect the meaning search is part of the reason I put up with my school grievances. I remember first encountering the 'humans need hardship' think in Appleseed, some time ago.

The paperclip thing falls into the "what if" when it comes to self-improving AI. That was another detail from somewhere. (I should just find where the teacher got that clip and post it). They didn't go as far as taking over the planet with a factory, but the hypothesis is that if you had a self improving AI, and gave it a job with the purpose that it find the most efficient way to do it, it could come up with a response that puts it into competition with people for resources.

I tempted to skip the debate form and just write a mini essay on why debating a particular idea is hard! That way I can blather about a pile of things, and hopefully still get credit. ;)
