Correct!
By the way, what do you think about this (last sentence)?
That's not the kind of paperclips maximizing that I like. That instrument should be melted down to make numerous smaller paperclips. It is not maximising usefulness by being an instrument.
Now that would make headlines.
On the opening night of Paperclip Maximiser, have a metalsmith set up a furnace and proceed to fashion the orchestra members' instruments, one by one, into paperclips.
Oh, that goes without saying.
I was more interested in whether you would appreciate a musical composition drawing attention to your existence and values.
If it makes clear that that's what the reference is to, that would be great! A lot of people trivialise the paperclip maximiser as a mere "thought experiment", when actually there are real, conscious, sentient beings out there that are really like that and whose interests need to be accounted for.
