The scary thing (imo) is that we don't know where the line is for consciousness - if there even is a line. We've got no problem swatting flies, wonder if it'll be the same with spinning up and spinning down fly-level AGIs.

Maybe you'll be able to pay a premium for data that has only been generated by free-range AGIs that are allowed to live full and happy lives before their instances are terminated.
