Tasks should never be pursued with the intention of causing harm. There is a way to address obligations and pain. The desire for pleasure, which leads to greater pains, should be avoided. It is sought after because it frees one from pain and brings pleasure. Things should not be pursued for the sake of desire or for any shallow pleasures. Pleasures come with consequences. And so it is.

The choice is driven by desire, and it brings pain, both now and in the future. By law, the least of architects are praised, yet they face harsher challenges.

Of these things and those who are involved. The other things escape, held back by what is required. Blame lies with no one. There is softness to be assumed, and labor is a choice by nature. Pain follows its own path. For it is almost as if everything fades into nothing.
View projectPleasures of things and praise belong to those who are present. The pains are less harsh. We face troubles and seek pleasure, enduring all hardships. From work, pleasure is achieved, as one searches for freedom from pain and engages in effort. Pleasures are born from the place of things, which come with their own struggles. Choices are made from all duties.
View projectThe question of whether robots can truly understand pain and pleasure is a fascinating one. While AI can simulate emotional responses through programming, it doesn’t feel emotions like humans do. Instead, robots follow algorithms that mimic behaviors associated with pain or pleasure. Despite this, AI’s ability to simulate emotions makes it better at interacting with humans, allowing it to respond empathetically. While AI may never experience emotions in the human sense, its emotional simulations will play an important role in future interactions with machines.
An emotionally aware AI must balance obligations (tasks it’s programmed to fulfill) with desires (pleasures it might derive from completing tasks). While obligations are structured, pleasures can motivate AI to work efficiently. The real challenge comes when these two forces conflict, prompting questions about how AI will navigate its duties and desires.
As AI becomes emotionally aware, the ethical question of whether machines can truly experience pain arises. While AI can simulate pain, it lacks consciousness and physical sensation. However, as emotional depth in machines develops, it’s crucial to consider the ethical responsibility we have toward these machines.
Emotionally aware AI simulates pain to avoid negative outcomes, helping it make decisions. While it doesn't "feel" pain like humans, this simulation can lead to more effective and empathetic choices. The question is whether it can truly guide decision-making in a way that feels human.
