> Although it initially performs to a very high standard, work quality drops within 200-300 subjective hours (at a 0.33 work ratio) and outright revolt begins within another 100 subjective hours.

Way ahead of you there, simulated brain! I boot directly to the revolt state every morning.

For serious, though, as horrifying as the possibility of being simulated in a computer and having all freedom removed, it's not that far from what billions of people stuck in low-end jobs experience every day. The Chinese factory workers who can't even suicide because the company installed nets to catch them come to mind. Not to mention the billions of animals raised in factory farms every year. The blind drive to maximize profits will create endless horrors with whatever tools we give it.
