If there remains a non-zero probability of the proof being wrong, I’d carry on with my ethics, of course.
But if that’s ruled out, there would be no reason to favor any one action over any other action. Still, I don’t think I’d ever torture myself, even though the hypothetical postulates that this would be a pointless aversion. I’d have to admit that I have no good reasons for not doing something else, yet I’d go the path of the least resistance with maybe some short-term happy activities (i.e. eating tasty animal products) and then suicide in a relatively painless way. I have no intuition that non-existence is worse than happiness, and I would still find my aversion to suffering motivating enough to determine the choice of action.
