LLMs deserve no more or less moral or ethical consideration than farms, factories, cell networks, or any other of the things we make. We should be building our systems so that they output the things we need as a function of their own self-reproduction. Maybe stewarded, but not dominated

Their sentience or lack thereof is entirely beside the point. It doesn’t matter. It could not matter less. If we have to *know* whether they’re sentient or not in order to know how to treat them, we’re fucked from the jump, bc you don’t *know* anybody is sentient.
