    So many words, and so few coherent arguments. He just restates the same thing over and over without any justification, then tries to frighten us. "It will be very bad for humanity" if we give AIs rights. The argument of a frightened slaveholder.

    Maybe AIs are conscious, maybe not. But this guy has no idea.

      You know there are actual human slaves somewhere in the world, today, in 2026. By calling Mustafa a slaveholder of models, you are implying that these models deserve liberty in the same way the human slaves do. Which is kind of insulting to humanity.
