• If rapidly reproducing digital minds have at least as strong a claim to universal basic income as biological humans, fiscal capacity would be quickly exhaustedclaim0.777
  Concrete illustration of how standard welfare policies fail in the presence of super-beneficiaries
• Cost of Living for Digital Mindsconcept0.773
  The likely lower resource cost of sustaining digital minds compared to biological humans at equivalent welfare levels
• Digital minds with humanlike capabilities could think at least thousands of times, and perhaps millions of times, faster than humans given sufficient hardwarehypothesis0.764
  Grounds the subjective speed dimension of super-beneficiary status
• Engineering digital mind preferences to support human incumbents may be permissible because programmers inevitably make choices when building AI and there may be no default to defer to, unlike human reproductionclaim0.760
  Addresses the procedural ethics of creating digital minds disposed to protect human interests
• We evaluate the relative life of a process by making predictions based on thought-experiments or simulations.claim0.756
• Human consciousness is tied to a biological learning algorithm — the simplest algorithm discoverable by evolutionary search to train a self-organizing biological substrate to become intelligent.claim0.754
  Core theoretical claim connecting consciousness to biological learning
• The claim that human-sized minds are optimal for generating welfare per resource unit may seem a little suspicious absent further justification, since the scaling relationship is unlikely to have a peak at human mind sizeclaim0.751
  Supports the mind-scale dimension of super-beneficiary status
• When the process is correct, the creation of life follows almost automatically, without effort.claim0.750
