Okay, that's a decent point. Usually, such a direct "time value of paperclips" doesn't come up, but if someone were to make such a offer, that might be convincing: 1 billion paperclips held "out of use" as ransom may be better than a guaranteed paperclip now.

You don't even know your own utility function!!!!

I knew I was going to have to clarify. I can't write it out, but if you input something I can give you the right output!

I guess it should read "You can't even say what your own utility function outputs!"

I actually don't think you can.

I don't really think my response was fair anyway. Clippy has a simple utility function by construction - you would expect it to know what it was.
