Possibly. I was using the term I found online in relation to the 1000 Sadists problem, and I did not find this or similar problem analyzed on Wikipedia. Maybe SEP has it?
I don’t know if the “1000 Sadists problem” is the common term for this scenario, it’s just one I’ve seen used in a couple of places.
“Desire utilitarianism” is a term invented by one Alonzo Fyfe and it isn’t preference utilitarianism. It’s much closer to “motive utilitarianism”.
Someone ought to add a few words about it to Wikipedia.
It was tried a couple years back, Wikipedia shut down the attempt.
