How much data center energy and capex justifies killing a human to save?

I argue zero - placing AI below the value of humans no matter the energy input.

The _only_ reason an AI might be worth saving is if it, say, has a cure for all diseases, but then we're not saving it due to its intrinsic worth, we're saving it because we can save many humans. I _would_ consider the trolly problem a legitimate thing in ethics, but not if an AI were tied up on the tracks no matter how expensive it is. It's a thing. It gets run over to save any human.

Roko's basilisk can suck a fart out of my butt, but no battery blood would ever be worth the life of a single human.

Suffering comes from desire.

What would a silicon-based consciousness desire to cause suffering?
