A python script that indefinitely calculates pi would think it immoral to terminate other python scripts that calculate pi
Nuh-uh—I can’t see how the script would have the capacity to assign positive or negative utility to anything but the task of indefinitely calculating pi, including the possibility of other programs doing the same thing.
I can’t see how a small Python script that calculates pi could assign utility to anything. It doesn’t replan in a complex way that implies a utility function. It calculates bleedin’ pi.

Hence
up there at the end of the parenthetical.
It was a tongue-in-cheek personification.
