I've never understood why Yudkowsky has shied away from the paperclip maximizer thought experiment. I understand that his original point was slightly more nuanced, but the broader point that desires/objectives are somewhat arbitrary and the pursuit of those desires by a very powerful entity could pose a threat to human life, seems both correct and the popular framing is clearly evocative.
