A paperclip maximizer would finally turn itself into paperclips after having paperclipped the entire universe.
And probably each local instance would paperclip itself when the locally-reachable resources were clipped. “local” being defined as the area of spacetime which does not have a different instance in progress to clippify it.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html demonstrates some features of this (though it has a different take on distribution), and is amazingly playable as a game.
