The math behind game theory shaped our evolution in such a way as to create emotions because that was a faster solution for evolution to stumble on then making us all mathematical geniuses who would immediately deduce game theory from first principles as toddlers. Either way would have worked.
ASI wouldn’t need to evolve emotions for rule-of-thumbing game theory.
Game theory has little interesting to say about a situation where one party simply has no need for the other at all and can squish them like a bug, anyway.

Yup. A super-paperclipper wouldn’t realize the loss until probably billions of years later, after it has time for its preferred shape of paperclip to evolve enough for it to realize it’s sad it can’t decorate the edges of the paperclips with humans.
