Sentience is absolutely the thing that matters here. My thermostat can respond to changes in its environment but that does not make it a moral patient.

I love the idea of Inkhaven but don't have the cash (and am not super interested in becoming a fancy writer/researcher, but would like to write better). What about an online version - would also run during the month of November so could cadge some of the Inkhaven tailwind, but would be free and online-only.
You'd have a community of likeminded people all trying to do the same thing. We could set up a tontine; everyone chips in $50 or something and then if you've posted one thing a day for the full month you split the pool at the end.

This links to a sequence where the most recent post is 7 months old - so I don't really understand the context (and I still don't know who Sahil is). Can it be made clearer?
