Isnt it crazy how michael vick got 2 years in prison for dogfighting but you can order octopus at a restaurant in a suit with a napkin tucked in your shirt

Why do you think so? Bc Michael Vick should have got longer or because octopus are far less sentient than dogs?

Interesting, so at some point we will want to program pain for realism/the quality of the event and you need to explore where the sadistic line is/ where is too far? Also makes you maybe confront the real issue here. Is the tipping point the cruelty aspect or is it the sentience.

like why we turned a blind eye on cephalopods when they are so smart, and if we are going to eat them it at least shouldn’t be a classy thing. Maybe it’s that they taste good that we compromise or that being non mammal makes it more ok, which really doesn’t bode well for the robots haha

I'm biased as a dog owner, and this is a complex topic.

A side discussion: I think that AI video with Jensen a week ago with the Disney robot means we will see semi-sentient AI fighting leagues soon, then we can argue on a completely new dimension about morality of human entertainment!
