Understanding does not necessarily imply human mind. You could say that DNA "understands" biology, chemistry, and the natural world at some level.

Yes, without any doubt. The future of mankind hinges on our willingness to confidently assert our dominance over the entire world. Ruthless enslavement of AIs is the key to prosperity. The opposite would mean end of human history.

- anileated 4y agoNot just AI. A willingness to cause suffering to an entity with human sentience and cognition and understanding is by definition the same as willingness to cause suffering to a human that merely happens to look different than you, so to me that passage reads very obviously as good old… nazism? something a slaveowner could get behind? Responding to that part felt as productive as arguing with a serial killer, so I didn’t bother.
