Great many good comments on why not do both (or calling out "whataboutism" ). This is discussion on resources. Let's not build spaceships to fly to Mars to run away bit fix climate change on earth, let's first reduce animal suffering before we worry about AI suffering.

Prioritizing animal suffering over AI sentience concerns

Sometimes I wonder if some of these SV people live on another planet. Before worrying about the feelings of an AI shall we please worry about 900k cows, 1.4 m goats, 1.7m sheep, 3.8m pigs, 12m ducks and 202m chicken that are slaughtered *every day*. Their feelings are real. https://t.co/6U0V0unEcT pic.twitter.com/djIOvfFWK1
