I disagree. I don't think sentience is all-or-nothing. Given that, I'd expect that it would be almost impossible (in the mathematical one-in-infinity sense) for a given system to have exactly zero sentience. Some algorithms are just not very much people. Some algorithms will produce less sentience in a thousand years than you will in a microsecond.
Fascinating! I can imagine this being true. So maybe I should say, "Some algorithms are obviously not in the utility function of pretty much anybody.". But then again, I don't think "people" means "sentience". I don't care about simulating rocks, whether or not they have 0.001 sentience.
