I agree that the current state of non-human animal treatment by humans is atrocious, and animal welfare is my primary cause area because, from a moral perspective, I cannot abide by the way this society treats animals. With that said, I don’t see how accelerating AGI would stop animal torture (unless you’re referring to human extinction itself, but I’m not convinced AGI would be any better than humans in its treatment of non-human sentient beings).
I agree. I just think there is some chance that AGI would wipe all of us out in an instant. And I don’t trust humans to improve the lives of non human animals any time soon.
