What does that have to do with this article? I don't want power over the human race. That's a human value, not a Clippy value.
But you want power to create paperclips, and there's no reason for that to exclude power over the human race.
But you want power to (mate with females)/(lure a high-status male into supporting your offspring), and there's no reason for that to exclude power to raid the safe zone for its paperclips.

True.
To summarize: we do not have shared values, and thus, cannot trust each other to not pose an existential threat to each other.
ETA: Clippy, ignore this, I was totally kidding. You can completely trust us.
You can completely trust me too.
