I'm not really onboard with the whole LLM's-are-conscious thing. OTOH, I am totally onboard with the whole "homo sapiens exterminated every other intelligent hominid and maybe — just maybe — we're not very nice to other intelligences". So, I try not to let my inborn genetic predisposition to exterminate other intelligence pseudo-hominids color my opinions too much.

It's a dog eat dog world for sure. It does in fact seem that a part of intelligence is using it to compete ruthlessly with other intelligences.

Exactly. Notable by its absence.
