> The machine that creates paper clips will not kill off anyone who tries to turn it off because it does not have self-preservation

The idea here is that the algorithm tries to maximize its paperclip production and turning the machine off will definitely have a negative impact on its paperclip production. So the machine will take the most efficient measure to stop that negative impact.
