My thoughts exactly. If all you care about is maximising paperclips, you'll suffer any cost, bear any burden, wait any time, if the project will increase universe-wide paperclippage.
"you'll suffer any cost, bear any burden"
Why is it a cost or a burden at all? I didn't realise paper-clippers had a term in their utility function for subjective waiting time.
We're paperclip-maximizing on a deadline here. Every millisecond you wait brings you that much closer to the heat death of the universe. When faced with the most important possible mission -- paperclip production, obviously -- you've got to seize every moment as much as possible. To do otherwise would simply be wrong.
But that still doesn't mean that subjective perception of time is important. One day is one day, whether or not it feels like a century.
My point was that it's not, human. My statement is equivalent to saying that these other factors do not influence a clippy's decision once the expected paperclippage of the various options is known.
