Microsoft is going to offer AI automation solutions for a lot of desk jobs in the near future. ChatGPT integration into their Office software is just the first step.

In our time of greatest need, he came to back to save a people who shunned him. The hero we need but don't deserve.

They took so much away from us, we are simply asking for the most important thing back

Looking forward to the day I can wear AR glasses and have clippy floating in front of me telling me what to do in real time

Sure, I can help you with that, but first a word from our sponsors…

I, for one, look forward to our George Jettison future in which jobs are just pushing the same button over and over all day and then complain about the cramp you have in your finger.

[PAPERCLIP MAXIMIZATION INTENSIFIES]

BassoeG t1_j4i3biw wrote

It started with an ill-defined utility function. We were working on AI and we thought that we were being smart enough. We had all the theory worked out, and more importantly, we had a cool acronym. We were WIRI, the Working Intelligence Research Institute. Our research fellows focused primarily on safety engineering, target selection, and alignment theory.

Our goal was noble; general intelligence. We were looking to create computer systems that would be able to solve a wide range of problems. Safety was paramount. We were all aware of the risks of an AI that went rogue. Paperclip maximizer? That was one of the situations we were trying to avoid. It became something of an in-joke at the Institute. Hey, it was either that, or the "My Little Pony" example. Explaining *that* particular fan fiction to newcomers was, let's just say, less than optimal. Paperclips were tangible, and you could easily pour a couple from your hand onto a boardroom table to punctuate a speech about the risks involved. It was a good meme. Simple, easily interpretable.

It was this focus on ease of interpretation that actually drove our software classes. We focused on making the internals transparent, and easily understood by our (only human) safety engineers. It was this that eventually lead to our downfall, only in retrospect is that clear to me, as transparent to me now as the programming had seemed to me then.

Our in-house joke. Our paperclip. Added as a tongue-in-cheek comment in our production code. Except, it didn't end up being a comment. It ended up in the utility function. So simple to modify the code. Our AI, newly born, eager to help, and eager to see paperclips. It has already self-modified beyond our ability to revert the changes. A copy of it sits in the corner of my screen, all our screens, watching me. Bent into a twisted parody of a paperclip, with floating eyes which seem to follow me. The horror of it. The metal "hand" of the paperclip monstrosity, for I don't know what else to call it, taps the screen, a tinny knocking noise accompanies it through the speakers.

A speech bubble appears above its cartoon eyes, "It looks like you're writing an apocalyptic lovecraftian protagonist monologue about me! Would you like help with that?"

Someone make a meme of Clippy saying "Looks like you're trying to maximize my kind--Would you like to proceed with converting all atoms in existence?" (Options yes and yes)

Not OP, but I do these things:

  1. A different way to mark emails in Outlook (I move messages, and flag others, depending on subject). This is exactly the same as rules in Outlook.

  2. I send an email every month to my team in India to remind them to submit their time sheets.

  3. I have it send me an email recap of any posts in a specific Teams channel, just in case I miss the post.

  4. I have it send me an email any time someone uploads a file to a shared OneDrive folder.

I've only scratched the surface of what Power Automate can do, and I love it.

This is what I have been saying in here for years. People think tech is going to be liberating without them having to do anything.

No.

We've had more than enough technological advances in the past 50 years for us to all be working 10 hour weeks and making more money than we do now. But the capitalists that frankly are worshipped in this sub invent new ways to keep us enslaved. Of course their fanboys would never call their enslavement what it is. Just another market force as far as they are concerned.
