I think I’d be confused. Do they care about more or better paperclips, or do they care about worship of paperclips by thinking beings? Why would they care whether I say I would do anything for paperclips, when I’m not actually making paperclips (or disassembling myself to become paperclips)?
I thought it would be obvious from context but the answers are “doesn’t really matter, any of those examples work” and “because they will send everyone to the paperclip mines after ensuring there are no rebellious sentiments”, respectively. I’ve edited it to be clearer.
