Just a thought:
A paperclip maximizer is an often used example of AGI gone badly wrong. However, I think a paperclip minimizer is worse by far.
In order to make the most of the universe's paperclip capacity, a maximizer would have to work hard to develop science, mathematics and technology. Its terminal goal is rather stupid in human terms, but at least it would be interesting because of its instrumental goals.
For a minimizer, the best strategy might be wipe out humanity and commit suicide. Assuming there are no other intelligent civilizations within our cosmological horizon, it might be not worth its while to colonize the universe just to make sure no paperclips form out of cosmic gas by accident. The risk that one of the colonies will start producing paperclips because of a spontaneous hardware error seems much higher by comparison.
A minimizer will fill the lightcone to make sure there aren't paperclips elsewhere it can reach. What if other civs are hiding? What if there is undiscovered science which implies natural processes create paperclips somewhere? What if there are "Boltzmann paperclips"? Minimizing means minimizing!
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
