I don't know about the destroying him part. I suspect FAI<CEV<Humanity>> would allow me to keep Clippy as a pet. ;) Clippy certainly doesn't seem to be making an especially large drain on negentropy in executing his cognitive processes so probably wouldn't make too much of a dent in my share of the cosmic loot.
What do you say Clippy? Given a choice between destruction and being my pet, which would you take? I would naturally reward you by creating paperclips that serve no practical purpose for me whenever you do something that pleases me. (This should be an extremely easy choice!)
Being your pet would be better than being destroyed (except in absurd cases like when the rest of the universe, including you, had already been converted to paperclips).
But let's hope it doesn't come to that.
