Boatrom’s point is valid in absence of other goals. A clippy which also values a slightly non-orthogonal goal would stop making paperclips once that other goal is interfered with by the excess of paperclips.
In virtue ethics you don’t maximize anything, you are free to pick any actions compatible with the virtues, so there is no utility function to speak of.
