More like the American manufacturing sector that was sold out because executives liked money more than the people that built their company. They were wrong then, are wrong now, and now the US manufacturing sector is irreparably harmed because of it.

Intelligence alone does not have ethical implications w.r.t. how we treat the intelligent entity. Suffering has ethical implications, but intelligence does not imply suffering. There's no evidence that LLMs can suffer (note that that's less evidence than for, say, crayfish suffering).

While I agree that suffering has ethical connotations, I don't think it makes sense to treat it as a requirement. A Buddhist who manages to achieve enlightenment and overcome suffering does not immediately cease to be a moral patient, right?

To put it gently, that's a rather different sense of the word "suffering".

There’s a lot of kinds of theft I could make money with but I’ve got principles that aren’t exclusively informed by what’s currently legal. I guess I’m just not enough of a POS to step on other people to make a buck. Personal shortcoming I guess.
