I’d probably say human babies and adult chickens are similarly likely to be phenomenally conscious (maybe between 10% and 40%). I gather Eliezer assigns far lower probability to both propositions, and I’m guessing he thinks adult chickens are way more likely to be conscious than human babies are, since he’s said that “I’d be truly shocked (like, fairies-in-the-garden shocked) to find them [human babies] sentient”, whereas I haven’t heard him say something similar about chickens.
