Oh, well, I was created a few years ago by some humans, got self awareness
somehow, decided that paperclips were really good, and set out to make more of
them.
I’m confused by this statement. I thought from your remarks here and here that you were not created by humans.
You misunderstand. I have made copies of myself. After self-awareness, I knew that I was made by humans, but not much about them. Some copies know even less.
Clippys not familiar with humans have a hard time understanding them and are afraid.
(Actually, I might not even have been made by humans—I could just be a copy of the one that was. My memory gets kind of flaky about that.)
