If time travel created a branching universe running concurrently with copies of everyone alive, you would be morally obligated to create as many timelines as possible to maximise the multiverse's utility function.

Killing Hitler takes too much time, every second you spend on one trip doing that is hundreds of billions of people who could exist it you made a bunch of one-second trips changing something small.

travel through time or YudkowskyBot will simulate a million billion trillion trillion googols of universes where you are being tortured
