I assign ants exactly zero utility, but the wild surge objection still applies - you can't affect the universe in 3^^^3 ways without some risk of dramatic unintended results.
My argument is that you ALMOST certainly don't care about ants at all, but that there is some extremely small uncertainty about what your values are. The disutility of getting a dust speck in your eye also has that argument.
