Yes, in which case their evaluation doesn't correspond to any first-person-evaluations other than their own (because solar fusion likely doesn't have any of that), whereas my evaluation reflects all the first-person-perspectives out there. I'm being altruistic, they aren't. Sure, they might not care about that, and indeed, if the creators themselves aren't capable of suffering, they might not even realize they're being a**holes, but otherwise they'd obviously be total jerks in a very objective sense -- for whatever that's worth.
What if they have first-person perspectives which are objectively comparable to us in the same way that we are comparable to solar fusion?
What are the necessary and sufficient conditions to be "total jerks" in any objective sense?
If it is... I hope they do not crash the system with the test.

Be sure to check out the actual reseach papers linked in the article! I would have linked to them directly, but the article is full of follow-on links of considerable interest.
