Uhhh you know that the paperclip problem stems from ai just following a task, not understanding what it is doing? Not from being misalignment.

I would go out a limb and say that current a could create a paperclip problem, given powerful enough tools.

Wife is from Africa, buried her dad and mom.

If she wouldn't have put down her foot, they would have sucked her dry ( our money) we set a budget and they got what they got... But I can easily see other people/ wifes not setting boundaries and spending a ton of money..

No that's not true, some try to do it by the book ( ai act, gdpr, and follow German law etc) but they won't have any chance on the market, because those who ignore any law will provide more information / control etc for police, state etc etc
