Homeless people cost more money than these programs do, even if you don’t take into account the amount of taxes being paid back.

AntennaPod can still fall victim to serverside ad injection.

Maybe hypothetically in the future, but it’s plainly obvious to anyone who has a modicum of understanding regarding how LLMs actually work that they aren’t even anywhere near being close to what anyone could possibly remotely consider sentient.

That’s where AI search/chat is really headed. That’s why so many companies with ad networks are investing in it. You can’t block ads if they’re baked into LLM responses.

Sentient and capable of suffering are two different things.

Technically true, but in the opposite way to what you’re thinking. All those capable of suffering are by definition sentient, but sentience doesn’t necessitate suffering.

Whether they can feel suffering like ants can is an unsolved scientific question

No it isn’t, unless you subscribe to a worldview in which sentience could exist everywhere all at once instead of under special circumstances, which would demand you grant ethical consideration to every rock on the ground in case it’s somehow sentient.
