All good points. I was mostly thinking about an evolved paperclip maximizer, which may or may not be a result of a fooming paperclip-maximizing AI.
An evolved agent wouldn't evolve to maximize paper clips.
It could if the environment rewarded paperclips. Admittedly this would require an artificial environment, but that's hardly impossible.
</nitpick>
Evolved creatures as we know them (at least the ones with complex brains) are reward-center-reward maximizers, which implicitly correlates with being offspring maximizers. (Actual, non-brainy organisms are probably closer to offspring maximizers).
