Pascal's mugging shouldn't come into it if you are using the universal prior. Or at least following an AIXI-ish version. Because AIXI does not intrinsically allow people to tell it the utility of actions, it figures them out for itself empirically. It treats the utility as another part of the world it is trying to predict.
