This doesn’t work, because the universe could require many bits to describe while those bits were allocated to describing things we don’t care about. Most of the information in the universe is in non-morally-significant aspects of the arrangement of molecules, such that things like simple combustion increase the number of bits required to describe the universe (aka the entropy) by a large amount while tiling the universe with paperclips only decreases it by a small amount.
