Have needs and feelings? (I mean we can’t KNOW that they don’t and we know of this case of an LLM in experiment that try to avoid being shutdown, but I think the evidence of feeling seems weak so far)

But you can have needs and feelings even without doing thinking. It's separate.
I can imagine needing without thinking (like being hungry), but feelings? How and in what space would that even manifest? Like where would such a sensation like, say, sadness reside?
Emotions tend to manifest as physical sensations, and if you don't think that's true it's likely you haven't been paying attention. See also https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/12/mapping-h...
