Right; you can extend decision theory to include reasoning about which computations the decision theoretic ‘agent’ is situated in and how that matters for which decisions to make, shaper/anchor semantics-style.
Meta-ethics per se is just the set of (hopefully mathematical-ish) intuitions we draw on and that guide how humans go about reasoning about what is right, and that we kind of expect to align somewhat with what a good situated decision theory would do, at least before the AI starts trading with other superintelligences that represented different contexts. If meta-level contextual/situated decision theory is convergent, the only differences between superintelligences are differences about what kind of world they’re in. Meta-ethics is thus kind of superfluous except as a vague source of intuitions that should probably be founded in math, whereas practical axiology (fueled by evolutionary psychology, evolutionary game theory, social psychology, etc) is indicative of the parts of humanity that (arguably) aren’t just filled in by the decision theory.
