At any rate, anyone whose death would go unnoticed by the monster, or whose death does not sufficiently distress the monster, would die, if the AI is to focus on average pleasure.

The AI explicitly wasn't focused on average pleasure, but on total pleasure, as measured by average pleasure times the population.
