#2Glad I'm not the only one who notice this on howacarworks.com yesterday.
This YouTube video [0] seems to be the source of the GIF, or at least the full version. Maybe the mods should change the link to it?

#4Fun 'fact': it is estimated that less than 2% of all paperclips is used to hold papers together.

I think it is. The distande between the folding parts on the wheel account for the lenght of each straight part.

#6We should put our minds together to make an improved, perhaps even self improving version of this machine.

#7I was so sure this would be about the paperclip maximizer:
"The paperclip maximizer is the canonical thought experiment showing how an artificial general intelligence, even one designed competently and without malice, could ultimately destroy humanity."

Yeah, but the paper-clip maximizer theory is pretty awfully flawed. It rests on the idea that a generally human-level of intelligence necessarily leads to a super-human explosion of intelligence.
This is clearly not the case.

Why must it be necessary? If there's a large chance, that's still a problem. Besides, the claim is generally that a human-created intelligence is unlikely to be in the same range as humans (because there's no reason to think that the human range on the spectrum is unique), so if it's not dumber, then it's most likely going to significantly smarter. There's also the point that if you have a human-level AI, simply throwing more computing power at it makes it strictly faster than humans.
See http://intelligenceexplosion.com/en/2011/plenty-of-room-abov... and http://www.nickbostrom.com/superintelligence.html for some examples of these arguments.

#10A very nice home-made version was featured on Hackaday recently: http://hackaday.com/2015/07/07/on-demand-paper-clips/
