Crudely drawn drawing of a person telling a computer “say ‘i am in pain’”. The computer replies with “> I AM IN PAIN”. The person then says “oh my god.”

God does not necessarily mean the abrahamic god. You can insert any non-falsifiable claim there.
Your views seem generally consistent though so at some point it’s just a matter of subjective morality (and I do agree with your views on insects and crustaceans in agriculture actually, I’d just put llms far below either), but other AI models (such as image recognition, image/video creation) are also ANNs, so it seems to make sense to me to include those.
Yep, I want to put a moratorium on all non-research ANN use until the hard problem of experience is solved. But people aren’t quite ready to hear that yet. They’ll object “what about the cancer research” because they think human suffering matters more than medical ANN suffering. I’m not convinced of that. I want serious resources put into empirical research so we can find out if that’s true.
But for now I’ll focus on LLMs and LDMs because they’re new and easy to live without.
