You'd think a man with a history of amphetamine use would find single-mindedness plausible.

Depends on definitions. If we're talking about true general artificial intelligence, then it's going to have enough common sense to single mindedly focus on 'getting smart'. If we're talking about being better than humans at one particular task, then it's plausible.

Paperclipper (pc) gets no inherent value from intelligence. Suppose pc finds with high prob that Fermi paradox is true, there is no competition. At some point pc is going to choose paper clips over computronium.

You're still sticking intelligence under a transcendent principle (based this time on social dominance).

The super-AI reaches concludes that it will survive the remainder of the lifespan of the universe without requiring any further thought or action. What does it do next? What comes after achieving optimality in absence of terminal values other than Omohundro drives?

Ok, another hypothetical. On your deathbed, you are given the choice between super-ecstasy which if you were to survive it, you would rate as the best experience of your life, or super nootropic, which will make you capable thinking 3 times as fast. Which pill do you take?
