Alright, another for you because I like the cut of your gib. Consider the octopus, whose nervous system is distributed into nodes in the head and limbs. Would severing a limb of a hypothetical sentience-uplifted octopus be a greater crime than severing the limb of a human? A human loses twice as much in terms of limb, but ignore that for sake of argument. The octopus loses a more significant part of its nervous system. This feels like another aspect of robbing a sentience of agency. So with sentient machines, if I removed a stick of RAM or underclocked the CPU, what do you think of these?
