Animal scientists are mainly driven by fascination, not compassion. And any compassion they develop, through contact with their experimental subjects, rarely extends to all the other sentient beings. Kudos to the rare exceptions.

This episode was excellent, and I look forward to reading some of Magnus's writing. I particularly liked the conversation around the importance of epistemology, and his observation that, "I don't think it's enough to just have good intentions and good motives." bsky.app/profile/xoii...

Thanks gents. Great episode. Things get really interesting when we also obscure our species behind the veil of ignorance. Academics like Rowlands and Dombrowski have done just that, with some radical implications. @pimlicat.bsky.social gets it 💚

We should spend time with family and friends because we care about them and they care about us. But friends and family may not care about who we care about. So we should also spend good time with people who care about who we care about.

Which worldview should we want powerful AIs to have and why is it Sentientism? (Evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings.)

031

Sentientism @sentientism.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Too often, the leap from anthropocentrism to biocentrism or ecocentrism is little more than a desperate attempt to bypass the powerful, practical moral implications of sentiocentrism. That renders most biocentrism and ecocentrism a thin veneer on the same old anthropocentrism 😢

020

Sentientism @sentientism.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Thanks Ben. What might be the most important ethical question seemed to be missing from this discussion: "Who Matters?" The question of moral scope. An unthinking anthropocentrism, even human-supremacy, runs through most human ethics and most AI saftety work too. We urgently need to break it.

I so grateful for those, working in the AI field, who take nonhuman sentient animal ethics seriously. And I’m frightened by those who don’t. What sort of world, for us sentient beings, are they working to create?

Humans obsessing over the moral implications of potentially sentient AIs as if they're at all interested in the moral implications of definitely sentient nonhuman animals in slaughterhouses & fisheries🤷‍♂️ Don't we want to be consistent? @sentientism.bsky.social

And the reason dehumanization is so dangerous? It's because of how we think about nonhuman animals. Our anthropocentrism. Our human supremacy. Our casual derogation, objectification, vilification. Ending those via @sentientism.bsky.social will help us end all the intra-human discriminations too.
