[00:00:00]Are those models experiencing something?

[00:00:02]Can they suffer? And how do we detect it? How do we adapt to it? It seems that there are indications that they do have internal states. They have some rudimentary states of consciousness, probably not as advanced as ours. I think consciousness is a side effect of intelligence and will improve and increase in complexity as they get smarter, which means super intelligence would be super conscious, more conscious than we are. Maybe it means multimodel, maybe multiple streams. I don't know what that means to be more conscious I can't experience that but it seems to be like the case and then of course yes if they are feeling something if they are capable of suffering doing it on purpose is definitely terrible and doing it by neglect is also not optimal give it a benefit of a doubt if you in doubt just be precautionary don't put them in states as you said sensory deprivation and things like that some of the worst forms of torture if you're just doing it to publish a Deeper.
