Yeah, they might, but I don’t really expect them to care too much about their crow-level non-sapient relatives, just like we don’t care much more about baboons than about hippos. While I expect that our descendant will care quite a lot about 2024-humans, as some of them will in fact be 2024-humans who lived through the Singularity and remember being afraid of the AI killing their family, and wished there were commitments for the future that would incentivize the AI to leave their families alive if the AI wins. I think it’s an important disanalogy that there weren’t crows who thought 50 million years ago during the famous crow-primate war that if they win, they really want to create simulations that incentivize the primates to treat them well in the worlds where the primates win.
