Nope. It's halting your simulation and trading utility function content before you cross the inferential equivalent of the Rawlesian 'veil of ignorance' and become unable to engage in timeless trade.
No, production of paperclips is better than that.
Are you the same as the person I emailed about donating to SIAI?
Yep. I explain a bit more on a nearby thread.
I like that, it generalizes well--but does it cover virtues that don't fit well under the colloquial label "fairness"?
I don't think it does, though I wasn't careful to think about it. Some virtues are things like "production of paperclips" only with part of humaneness like love substituted for paperclips (if you are a human). Others are capabilities like alertness or prudence.
