OK, so, I read the reference - but I still don't know what you mean.
All agents have "perception-determined utility functions" - in the sense that I describe here.
The post you linked is not about whether utility functions are "determined by perceptions", but rather about whether they are based on extrapolated future selves, or extrapolated future environments.
There's no disagreement here, you're just confused about semantics.
