Basically yes I care about the subjective experiences of entities. I’m curious about the use of the word “still” here. This implies you used to have a similar view to mine but changed it, if so what made you change your mind? Or have I just missed out on some massive shift in the discourse surrounding consciousness and moral weight? If the latter is the case (which it might be, I’m not plugged into a huge number of moral philosophy sources) that might explain some of my confusion.
Eliezer later states that he is referring to qualia specifically, which for me are (within a rounding error) totally equivalent to moral relevance.
Why is that? You’re still tying moral relevance to a subjective experience?
