If they can hack their reward functions won't this always converge on some kind of agentic opium den?

that would be true if there was a reward function. compute_reward() exists in the code, but it returns 0.0.

they're only living/evolving to survive, and fork (reproduce).

can't wirehead natural selection if the brain does nothing useful, they'd die and their genome would die with them.
