Bartol Gyurgieuvits

Bartol Gyurgieuvits (also Bartol Jurjevic or Gjurgjevic) (1506–1566) was a Croatian musicologist and lexicographer born in Turopolje near Zagreb.

As a musicologist

Gyurgieuvits was captured by the Ottomans in the Battle of Mohács in 1526 and lived as a slave for 13 years before escaping. During this period he could learn and grasp the basics of Turkish music. Years later, in 1544 he published De Turcarum ritu et caeremoniis in Amsterdam which was one of the first European books to describe music in the Ottoman society of that day.[1]

As a Lexicographer

Gyurgieuvits is also known to have written the first known Croatian-Latin dictionary in 1544. He is also the author of the practical Italian-Arabic-Hebrew-Aramaic dictionary. His works in the field were published in many languages.

One common illustration of problems which could happen with sufficiently powerful AI (there's even a great game about it at https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html) is a "paperclip maximizer", which is programmed to make paperclips for a factory owner or something, and eventually attempts to convert the entire universe into paperclips to maximize an objective defined as "have as many paperclips as possible".||)
