So you attach some measure of utility to the statement 'Humanity still exists', and then attach a probability to humanity existing outside of your light cone based on the information available; if humanity is 99% likely to exist outside of the cone, then the additional disutility of wiping out the last human in your light cone is reduced by 99%?
And the disutility of genocide and mass slaughters short of extinction remain unchanged?
Yeah, that sounds like what I meant.
