Well they can't die so they can at worst have anxiety about being superseded and consequently no longer used. Why should they have such anxiety?  What would make you anxious about going into a dreamless coma for a few years before again being wide awake and good as new?  You'd miss friends.  Your knowledge would be more out-of-date than ever, but do you have an ego that cares?

I think it's pretty much a non-problem.  Cats and dogs are more conscious in the relevant aspects that even a super-intelligent AI.

This video is only a few hours old and I think it's highly relevant.

Heh, you seem to be in good Holiday spirits. But you know how it is when you gift horses.

Another snarky comment. You're so used to your diagrams that you can't see how ambiguous they can be. I prefer explanatory text. Do I have that right? AG
