Thanks so much for coming on!
Nice VId. Interestingly most people I meet also don't want AI sentience despite it being so common in media.

In science fiction, creating sentient beings (robots, AIs...) is often seen as a bad idea: machines either turn against humanity or experience suffering themself, and their creators are depicted as mad scientists or playing God. Popular culture recognize those things are bad but don't realize, I believe, that there is no real difference between creating a robot and begeting a child or breeding animals. (I guess that would be an argument for antinatalism that is more grounded in virtue ethics than in consequentialism.)
Hey I was wondering if you thought all lives were more suffering than pleasure, I don't believe so (tho most are) but I still believe in antinatlsm
