No, that won’t do. The infrastructure that would be necessary to implement these computations in a paperclip-tiled universe—namely, the source of power and the additional complexity of individual paperclips relative to the simplest acceptable paperclip—would consume resources that could be alternatively turned into additional paperclips. (Not to mention what happens with humans who refuse to be virtualized?)
One of the main purposes of the Clippy act seems to be the desire to promote the view that intelligent beings with fundamentally different values can still reach some sort of happy hippyish let’s-all-love-each-other coexistence. It’s funny to see the characteristically human fallacies that start showing up in his writing whenever he embarks on arguing in favor of this view.
