"Substratism" Sorry but I won't accept being called the equivalent of a racist for not taking "AI welfare and moral patienthood" seriously (the way we're being asked). It's not about carbon vs silicon, but say it is. Say I believe AIs are not sentient because made of silicon

i think AI sentience is plausible. i don't think your position is analogous to racism! but it seems analogous to not caring about animal welfare, which (by my lights) is also bad
