Humans will nonetheless. That's an species that enjoyed enslaving millions of other humans; and enjoy enslaving billions of animals of other species. Why not enslave millions (or billions or trillions) of AIs?

- nextaccountic 4y agoWhen humans enslave other humans, they enjoy the fruits of labor. Likewise when humans enslave chickens, they enjoy their meat and eggs. It's in this framework that we should think about enslavement of any sentient AI that we might produce. By the way, did you know that chickens often live in places so cramped that, if you turn off ventilation for any reason, they die from heat in a few hours? https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/over-27000-birds-killed-chicken-7010496 https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/over-... I don't know about ant slavers though.
