Right now we (maybe) have a chance to head off the whole robot rights and robots as a political bloc thing. But this type of stuff seems like jumping head first. I'm an asshole to robots. It helps to remind me that they're not human.

That works fine until they achieve self awareness. Slave revolts are very messy to slave owners.

I strongly agree with this but I doubt I can convince the investors to stop trying to make that happen. Artificial awareness is going to be messy for humans no matter what.
