yeah, makes sense. my point was mainly to bring up that the level of anger behind these disagreements is, in some contexts, enough that I’d be unsurprised if it goes hot, and so, people having a warlike stance about considerations regarding whether AIs get rights seems unsurprising, if quite concerning. it seems to me that right now the risk is primarily from inadvertent escalation in in-person interactions of people open-carrying weapons; ie, two mistakes at once, one from each side of an angry disagreement, each side taking half a step towards violence.
