That is already a maximiser - Its utility is maximised by building exactly 9 paperclips. It will take over universe to build more and more sophisticated ways of checking that there are exactly 9 paperclips, and more ways of preventing itself (however it defines itself) from inadvertently building more. In fact it may take over the universe first, put all the precautions in place, and build exactly 9 paperclips just before heat-death wipes out everything remaining.
Ah, I see. Thanks for correcting me.
So my friends are maximizers in the sense that they seek very specific targets in car-space, and the fact that those targets sit in the middle of a continuum of options is not relevant to the question at hand.
