Manfred, what about quantum computers? They can be big enough to have a goal system, and will work only when their states are coherent... Will they generate a new kind of morality?
If you can care about a quantum computer, then the quantum computer will generate no new kind of morality by caring about itself.
Sure, it puts is in an unusual position - but the goal of this post was to show that this position isn't qualitatively different, jsut something we haven't had much reason to care about yet.
