Kurzgesagt - Do Robots Deserve Rights?

What shall we do once machines become conscious? Do we need to grant them rights?

I am not interested in your meatbag fluid transfers.

Welcome to the annoyance that is some/most/many comment threads on the sift.

@siftbot go fuck yourself. NO one cares what you have to say, and your comment pollution often does a disservice to most who are actually interested in the comment thread (imo)

I do however love you, regardless of all your imperfections (it's a love hate thing)
I just want you to be the best you can be.

Thoughts,

IIRC the main argument against women's vote was that it would in effect give married men two votes (the expectation being that the wife was subservient to the husband, and would vote as she was told). AFAIK it wasn't because it was something difficult that needed to be taken off of their shoulders.

In actuality, if we stopped eating meat, we would stop breeding all the food animals (because who's gonna pay for it?), and it would be a massive near extinction event. It's not as if these animals are in the wild anymore, and most have been selectively bred to such extremes that they would die in nature (cows producing so much milk they would damage themselves if not milked, and sheep producing so much wool that they would die of heat if not sheared, etc). If using population as a metric, food animals are some of the most successful creatures on earth.
