Interesting framing.
It reminds me of this problem -
Many people feel that: - everyone should have the right to vote - almost everyone should have the right to reproduce - people should not be able to buy elections
Yet when virtual minds can reproduce cheaply and quickly by spending money, it will be hard to maintain all of these.
I think the way that people would take out of this is avoiding assigning personhood status to virtual minds. There are already considerations that would weigh against virtual minds getting personhood status in the opinions of many people today, and if there are cases like this where assigning personhood creates and obvious and immediate problem, it might tip the balance of motivated cognition.
