Yeah, I came in well primed - having played "A Dark Room", familiar with the "paperclip maximizer" thought experiment, and familiar with various iterations of the idea of keeping an AI "in a box". Playing the game was probably a very different experience than for someone with none of that familiarity.

Absolutely, I can not leave it!
