So you’re a human supremacist?
If the minds are intelligent beings, why shouldn’t they have parity with humans?
- Vecr 2y agoI'm a human supremacist and I don't want to be an Em. Also, uhh, there's lot less than a trillion Minds (uppercase M, the massive AIs of the culture). In fun space they're probably blocked out to make the computation feasible (essentially all the minds in a particular fun space are really the same mind that's playing the "game" of fun space). Also, I don't think they suffer. If they claim to, it's probably a trick (easy AI box escape method). If you think human suffering is bad, you've got some thinking to do.

- grey-area 2y agoYes exactly, all intelligences should be treated with respect IMO, and humans would very quickly realise that if they found themselves confronted with more advanced intelligences. Human chauvinism (like many other forms of chauvinism) is based on an assumption of superiority.
