One major difference is that you are talking about what to care about and Eliezer was talking about what to expect.
I'm talking about expectation as well.
If I'm about to make 100 copies of myself, I expect that 100 versions of myself will exist in the future. That's it. I'm currently not making copies of myself, so I expect exactly one future version of myself.
It's nonsensical to talk about which one of those copies I'll end subjectively experiencing the world through in the future through. That's because subjective expectation about the future is an emotionally intuitive shorthand for the fact that we care about our future selves, not a description of reality.
