Example Sentences
- "But there may be strong pressure to go the other way — to surrender, in the name of autonomy and equity and anti-speciesism, to a future where humans and bots are treated interchangeably, where simulated relationships are assumed to be equal to real ones if enough people prefer them, and where the post-human ambitions of some technologists are taken up by the would-be spokesmen for the masses."
Etymology
From anti- + speciesism.
