Not only that, but we've managed to subvert our reward functions in exactly the way AI safety people fear. Evolution tried to get us to reproduce as much as possible, and we came up with ways to get the reward without producing offspring.

That’s a pretty naive understanding of sex. In human history sex has often played as important a role in bonding, community, and social hierarchy as it has in child production. These things are beneficial for survival. It’s very common for evolution to result in redirected drives.

And most likely, humans will have a pretty naive understanding of whatever motivates a superintelligent AI.
