Excuse me, but I think you should recheck your moral philosophy before you get the chance to act on that. Are you sure that shouldn’t be “become indifferent with respect to optimizing their utility function”, or perhaps “rescale their utility function to a more reasonable range”? Because according my moral philosophy, explicitly flipping the sign of another agent’s utility function and then optimizing is an evil act.
