From a negative-utilitarian perspective, assuming paperclips & paperclipper don't suffer, that option is clearly best! No ppl, no problems.

I consider my death a harm and against my preferences. Negative utilitarianism shouldn't want me to die even if I shouldn't have existed.
-
That would be"negative preference utilitarianism". I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone endorse that. Just negative hedonic utilitarianism.
-
I know somebody who endorses something between the two, specifically to avoid endorsing killing people who don't want to die.

Hey, I like paperclips. It fits with my intuitive sense of what strings should look like

Perhaps string theory is correct, and is the result of the universe having already been tiled with the tiniest possible paperclips.

I confess I'm not certain what you're getting out of comparing "negative utility at p=1" in an open poll. Should only disagreers answer?

Sane answer requires timescale info. 3 worst obvs, but unlikely for a decade at least. 1 & 2 conducive to increased probability of early 3.
