Evidence that most ems are slaves whose copies are made at the choice of owners would seem relevant.
Making miserable workers a bit happier doesn’t seem to make them less productive today. Why should there be no similar options in an em world?
As I understand it, the premise behind ems is that it’s possible to copy human minds into computers, but not to understand the spaghetti code. There won’t be an obvious way to just make workers happier.
I expect faster and more reliable evaluations of Prozac-like interventions.
I also expect that emotions associated with having few cpu cycles are less strongly ingrained than those caused by lack of food.
