I must confess I have a personal vendetta against Yudkowsky and his cult. I studied computer science in college. As an undergrad, I worked as an AI research assistant. I develop software for a living. This is my garden the LessWrong crowd is trampling.
Every animal is sentient. If you can’t tell that, you’re a moron.
All life is sentient
A computer program is not life
Exactly
I confess to some doubt about Sponges and Cnidarians and a few sessile animals may have lost sentience later on but everyone else yeah.
