I guess robots that can kill people on their own "will" would be perceived by humans as having chaotic behavior , and wouldn't be of much use to us. So why build it?

Anyway I think robots or other devices can't have will either way. For example if someone plants land mine and years later this land mine kills someone. It is not land mine's will. But of person who planted it. You can't sue land mine.

That John Smith left his paperclip maximizer running will be cold comfort while we're all getting reconfigured into paperclips by a particularly deviously formulated by AI bacterium.

Sometimes, there are good reasons to just not build a thing. Takes a while for the idea to become apparent, but once you start thinking in terms of actually being responsible for second order and higher outcomes, it becomes much easier.

But it's cultural dogma that Businesspeople aren't responsible for any externalities related to their endeavours. I don't see how that's going to change anytime soon. Move fast and break things!

Take heart, though; the paperclip maximizer will probably just "want" us to watch ads and buy shit. A slow death, via titrated amounts of The Entertainment from Infinite Jest. At least it won't hurt too much.
