What are they claiming then? Allard says that people whose only connection to Sweden is being born there are not Swedish (which is correct) and that they would have to leave. I don't see the connection to ethnonationalism here.

Sweden doesn't appear to have birthright citizenship (jus soli), so people whose only connection to Sweden is being born there are in fact not swedish. If this is your definition of ethnonationalism, then most of the world is already e

Making things easier (or cheaper) is the entire point of AI. If AI is great because it makes writing software easier (or cheaper), then AI is also terrible when it makes publishing slop easier (or cheaper).

Well prompt injection is pretty much unfixable. So if they actually saw this as a security vulnerability they would have to remove this feature.

I'd love to work for some company distilling frontier models. Seems like interesting work and screwing with OpenAI, Anthropic and Google would feel fantastic.

Tech careers no longer exist. Tech jobs will still exist for a few years, but careers they will no longer be.

But saying "LLMs are not good at architecture so software engineering has a bright future" is _also_ extrapolation.

LLMs are trained to mimic human language production. If humans have heartstrings and the LLM does a good job at mimicking human language production, it will also mimic those heartstrings.

I don't think it matters if the reasoning is philosophically "real" if it can solve real problems.

The fact that AI currently requires some human supervision to produce valuable results is not a good predictor that it will stay this way sadly. LLMs were basically unable to reason two years ago. They are now better at many reasoning tasks

I don't get this argument because a paycheck isn't necessary for the system to "work" either. Serfdom and slavery "worked" for hundreds of years.
