This proposed utility function term is a gazillion times easier to satisfy for each second earlier that you start; therefore, you can take a dollar to the casino and double it until you lose, and if you got enough winnings buy all the AI labs and implement your vision. After you tried that, any further contributions would be a rounding error so you might as well assume away that term in the utility function.
I would agree with you if I was really sure about all the chains of the argument, but I can’t never be really sure because of epistemic humility, so I wouldn’t do a such of weird plan.

Fine, I’ll go buy a damn lottery ticket then.
