80 years ago: "Machines that think called peril to man"
A society that systemically disrespects the rights of non-human life (animals, plants, etc.) but celebrates the rights of machines, is inherently insane.
The currently popular notion that "more energy use = better outcomes overall" is naive juvenile nonsense. Nature strives for ecological coherence in a complex web of life-forms, that are hyper attuned to their environment, use energy highly efficiently and create minimal waste.
Wondering how many teams have written the ethics section on their site with ChatGPT and how ethical that is...
Despite armies of professional "AI Ethicists", "AI Alignment engineers", "AI policy experts", "AGI Risk thought leaders" and countless "Think Tankies", a surge of autonomous AI weapon monstrosities are being released globally right now. This is the exact opposite of intelligence.

Artificial Empathy
It is perplexing how so many people are excited for Artificial Intelligence yet seemingly do not care much about the very intelligent beings all around them. Spending just 30min learning about how we treat animals or what the state of biodiversity is, will shock & change anyone.
"Scientists grow human brain cells in rats to study diseases"
#Comment: Despite all ethical arguments, human-animal chimera research is advancing rapidly. What is possible & likely being done behind closed doors, has eclipsed the public imagination by far.

One must not use his Power for deception of people.
One must not rise over other people.
One must not use this Art for suppression of people.
