Against Clippy, consider clipping. Clipping happens when something that theoretically exists on the computer hits a physical world roadblock. In theory, your model goes exponential! But in practice it can’t deliver a signal over one volt. t.co/N1RPqZEpG0 t.co/mh2T3WZtrj

The digital-to-analog interface is just completely handwaved in most of these AGI doom scenarios. And yet it’s highly nontrivial, and imposes real bounds on what any program can do.
