Mr. Beast is actually an real world case of a paperclip optimizer
I would normally write a small little skit where Mr Beast does one of his little bits, but I don't know what he does, so let's just assume he has a poor person trapped in a glass box and he's going to stream himself breaking their knees because they owe him $3500 on a $500 payday loan.

Crankshaft had a nasty habit of getting stuck in deoptimization “doom loops” where the optimizer would be wrong -> escape to deopt code -> optimizer immediately attempts reoptimization -> infinite cycle.

in statistics an optimizer typically finds the minimum of a loss function so technically by optimizer-maxxing you are min-maxxing
I hear all this talk of maxxing, but I took economics, so I know we should be focused on optimizzing
