Reception
J.

Reviews
- Review by Orson Scott Card (1987) in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, July 1987[2]
gollark: But it says "it's good" to "maximising paperclips".
gollark: You would say "turning the planet into paperclips" and it would say "it's bad" and such.
gollark: There was actually one AI research organisation recently which made a language model try to capture human common sense ethics.
gollark: You train a neural network on samples of good things, and it outputs new good things for you to do.
gollark: That, and also by many metrics things are generally improving.
