Ah, but can a person exponentially increase a corporation’s profits? No. But a well-tended AI engine can…allegedly.

In the long, dreary, & often appalling history of NY Times' headlines, that surely ranks among the most profoundly stupid.

People’s rights < AIs’ rights < Guns’ rights

Right, so until we do that, we can postpone thinking about animal welfare, too. Humans first!

I think we should do all. But we tend to have the power to fuck everything else up, so maybe humans first.

I think we should investigate the bases of all potential creatures' well-being and how we could avoid doing them harm. I don't think it would be good to focus on human well-being to the exclusion of animal well-being, even if it's often very hard to determine what animal well-being consists in.

Yeah I'm gonna say we should start with improving maternal health outcomes and expanding the social safety net to improve the lives of the most marginalized amongst us.
