This, too, is a coin trick. Extending rights to *nature* reliably makes the world better, but extending rights to *constructs* makes the world *far* worse (Exhibit A is corporate personhood) (obviously). A few moments' thought reveals the difference. If we extend rights to a watershed, that might result in an AI data-center being killed. If we extend rights to AI, that might lead to sacrificing the watershed to cool the data-center: https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/10/posthuman-as-in-no-humans/#hell-is-other-people 19/

Long thread/20 Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
For these bosses, AI is the chance to wire the toy steering wheel they play with all day directly into the corporate drive-train. With enough AI slaves, the boss can run the company all on their own: https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/10/posthuman-as-in-no-humans/#hell-is-other-people In other words, you don't need to be a solipsist to bet on AI. It is sufficient to believe that *bosses* are solipsists, who can be relied upon to empty the corporate coffers in exchange for worker-replacing magic beans. 20/

"AI dangles the possibility of a world without ego-shattering confrontations between bosses who tell themselves they're in charge, and the workers who know how to do things and insist on telling bosses that their ideas are dangerous, illegal and/or unworkable" @pluralistic@mamot.fr #AI #Labour #WorkersRights https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/10/posthuman-as-in-no-humans/#hell-is-other-people

While the AI bubble is primarily a *material* phenomenon (driven by the calculation that bosses are easy marks for a sales pitch that sees them replacing workers with software), there is an inescapable ideological component to it: the desire for a world without people in it: https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/13/vibe-governance/#k-hole -- If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog: https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/10/posthuman-as-in-no-humans/#hell-is-other-people 1/

If eternal Hell seems unfair, you may be asking the wrong question At first glance, the question seems compelling. It appeals to our sense of fairness. It sounds humane. But it also reveals something deeper, something often misjudged. #Hell #judgement #afterlife #sin Source: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/if-eternal-hell-seems-unfair-to-you-youre-missing-the-point.html #Faith #ChristianNews #Bible

Loving people into Hell In my attempt to remain culturally in touch, have I traded a Gospel that confronts sin for a message that manages feelings? #Hell #love #repentance #sin Source: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/loving-people-into-hell.html #Faith #ChristianNews #Bible
