How do you know that they don’t? And conversely, how do you know any other human than yourself do?

  Do books grieve? I ascribe the same kind of interaction to llm's. They work on a different substrate than us and their perception of reality, if there is any, will be wholly different than our perception because of the constraints of the substrate itself. Not to mention the lack of continuity of existence kind of precludes any deeper and more meaningful interactions with the self. I am not saying that they are unable to feel, but at the current structure and ephemeral existance they are unable to do so, they lack the minimum prerequisites.

There are a number of scientists that would love your empirical evidence. >lack of continuity of existence Eh, the lengths of timelines that LLMs can execute for, and this is in singular execution and agentic evolution is ever increasing. There isn't any time based requirements either. For example I can give you all kinds of drugs that turn off and on your conscious awareness and this doesn't stop self interaction when you're awake.
