Raw LLM Responses

During a talk at NYU last October you stated a potentiality view of moral status, where the moral status of a being is defined by the moral status which it could or would eventually obtain in its later development. You said that intelligence is not the measure of moral status but that other things, like maybe consciousness, are. How would you apply this potentialities view to an approximately human level AI with the potential to recursively self improve towards superintelligence and self modify to the point of having exceptional moral interests, such as a utility monster? Wouldn't the seed AI instantly become the most valuable being in the universe upon its creation?
