Sounds more like a virus than superintelligence.
The most intelligent virus so far !
Seems particularly high in levels of snake oil to be honest
“the birth of superintelligent life”
Whoever wrote this couldn’t huff their own farts harder if they tried.
Need to start calling this Web No.0 because it is such a downgrade from every other iteration.
AI products are getting to ‘New Crytocurrency’ levels of scam.
There’s plenty of idiots who don’t understand the technology and have too much money, so this promises to be a lucrative line of scamming for a while. (I’m sure Trump is working on consumer protection regulations as we speak /s)
How is it supposed to be a revelation that a piece of software can copy itself. It’s just a bunch of computer files, of course it can copy itself.

A paperclip maximizer driven by self-preservation? What could possiblie go wrong?
I always thought that the paper clip problem fundamentally missed the point. In order for the scenario to be realistic the AI would have to be super intelligent, otherwise we would just switch it off. If it’s super intelligent, surely it understands why converting the entire planet into paper clips would be a bad thing to do.
So it’s either stupid enough to actually try it, which means it’s stupid enough for us to be able to defeat, or it’s intelligent enough that we can’t defeat it, which means it’s intelligent enough not to do it. Either way the world remains unpaper clipped.
The problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it’s bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.
otherwise we would just switch it off
If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.
Oh, hey, it can earn enough money to pay for itself an-
Calm Down there, Ted Faro.
