Really interesting food for thought. I don't have much to add to Sampson's arguments at the moment except for maybe the x-risk probality chart comes from Toby Ord's book The Precipice published in 2020. It's amazing how he Unaligned artificial intelligence to be about ~ 1 in 10, a few years before ChatGPT was released, which has held up well to this date.
"Most of our data on the topic [of farmed shrimp sentience] is based on another shrimp species about as evolutionarily distant from what's most commonly eaten as sharks are from humans"
Amen ✊
Thank you for teaching me about cluster headaches and helping fix this issue

Great poem tho your own writing is moving too.
I'm on chapter 11 and find this book incredible so far. It's so rigorous and densely packed with good advice and citations behind almost every claim.
thank you very much for this really rigorous research
Great data, thanks for sharing!
Great summary of one of my fav books!
P.S. Peter Singer also made a documentary covering the main points of the book. You can watch it for free here:
Thank you so much for making so many great linked resources about FTG available for free!
I'm tardy to the party but I wanted to join in. I share a lot of OP's concerns especially when it comes to shrimp welfare.
