The amount of people that seam to react negatively to living brain cells doing the computation is unexpected to me.

I do understand where it comes from to some extent.. some idea that human cells are special i guess, but it seams very naive to me. We spawn, use and kill far more complex AI agents millions if not billions of times every second in this society.

No one gives a shit, as those intelligences are not "real" or whatever.. or they are not "conscious" but conscious is a fictional word without an actual definition. In the end i think it comes down to suffering.

No one knows if some internal part in a LLM is suffering just as no one knows if a cell culture with brain cells like this can suffer.
