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.
