Ahh, I hadn’t seen that before. Thanks for the link.
So, did my robot experience suffering then? Or is there some broader category of negative stimulus that includes both suffering and the punishment of states in which certain variables are above certain thresholds? I think it’s pretty clear that the robot didn’t experience pain, but I’m still confused.
Pain has been the topic of a top-level post. I think my own comment on that thread is relevant here.
