People come to have sparse and beyond-lifetime goals through mechanisms that are unavailable to biological evolution— it took thousands of years of memetic evolution for people to even develop the concept of a long future that we might be able to affect with our short lives. We’re in a much better position to instill long-range goals into AIs, if we choose to do so— we can simply train them to imitate human thought processes which give rise to longterm-oriented behaviors.
