Why would a lack of emotions lead to greater paperclip maximizer chances? If anything, wouldn't an AI that felt really good, or had a simulated digital orgasm for every paperclip it made have a stronger, not weaker drive to create paperclips vs an unemotional AI that didn't care one way or the other about paperclips?

Neither AI cares. They pull a weighted randomization of the other tokens around the sentiments expressing that feeling.

Think about how many people on the internet have expressed positive feelings towards things you find offensively evil.
