That is a good point, but I think one under-appreciated on LessWrong. It seems to go “rationality, therefore OMG dead babies!!” There is discussion about how to define “the world’s expected utility”, but it has never reached a conclusion.
In addition to the problem of defining “the world’s expected utility”, there is also the separate question of whether it (whatever it is) should be maximized.
