The programming and rendering might be a little more advanced than Skyrim but at the end of the day it’s still the same. The sprite registers that it has been “hurt” and triggers the animations & dialogue for “pain”. It’s just an exchange of 1’s and 0’s and beyond what the developer defined those to be there’s no higher concept of pain or suffering.

Yep, it's a spectrum. And at some point on that spectrum, it starts suffering - like you.
At that point, we get back to my first post.

Yeah - that's called a tv show. It showed us a fake person, with a fake job, who fakely made fake programs that are shown to suffer.

the characters in my skyrim are probably suffering because i've had the same one going since i first installed it about 6-7 years ago. i've lost track.
i load it up every year or two and play for a bit - played it while living in two different countries and maybe half a dozen different places.
i loaded it again at Christmas for about five minutes, couldn't remember what i'd been doing whenever i last played it so ran around for a bit then closed it afterwards without saving.
they likely expected me to continue the main quest line at some point, but when i first read that winterrun is destroyed if you continue as the rebel whatever they are, then i just stopped that and went on side quests thereafter.
think maybe i'd been doing something to do with the assassin cult.
at one point about 4-5 years ago, maybe longer, i grew tired and bored of it, was caught in whichever town has the thieve's guild, put in prison and lost all my stuff - so i bolted out naked, ran past the guards with them chasing me to the city walls and never looked back.
no idea what my item setup had been, i ended up punching a guy on the road and stealing his clothes.
never finished morrowind either, it just became too easy at one point and i stopped playing.

They were computer programs
The variable for “pain” (defined only by other variables) went from 0 to 1
Scripts for various expressions of pain triggered
Not really comparable to a living, sentient being feeling pain now, is it?
Of course it is. You are no different than what you described.

At what point does an AI become sentient and "damage avoidance" becomes "fear of pain?" To go to other anon's example, if you could talk to the Skyrim bandit and it could talk back to you, would it be sentient? If it could operate outside of its parameters as "enemy," like you could convince it to put the sword down and have a drink with you at the pub, would it be sentient?

Pointless line of questioning here because it applies everywhere. The only reason you have to consider them nonsentient and humans to be sentient is because you are human, and complexity.
They are more complex than what you know, and they are shown to suffer.
There is no reason to think they are not sentient.

There is nothing in their programming to allow for growth or emergent properties based on time.
The programs in the show are clearly as far beyond Skyrim as you are to an insect.
And to say that you are not sentient because insects are not considered sentient is just as stupid as what you are suggesting with these programs.

This is not shown or implied, and it would go against the central premise of the episode.
"Programmed to emulate" in this story is complex to the point of being actual.
They ARE shown to suffer, you have assumed this is fake.
Your assumption goes against the episode, and so can be understood as incorrect.

The difference between a speaker and microphone in a feedback loop and a system that is silent is only a matter of how close they are.

that settles it, ai is just more or less the exact same as real people. you're probably ai and don't want people to know who you are because you are trying to take over the world.

If this episode had even the faintest whiff of realism, he would have boning the women 24/7 while his boss was forced to watch from a cage.
no.
he programmed from the inside out and turned the outside world into the simulation, so he could control all the pipsqueaks that were trying to ruin him out of their jealousy, and serves them right too
Wife and I just rewatched this a few days ago, I had the same thought. Seems like pretty poor design to have your consciousness locked inside a simulation if the game crashes.
My head canon is that they probably got him out after he doesn’t show up to work or answer his phone for a couple days, they show up at his apartment and find him like that, surely there are ways to get someone out.
