Väldigt tydligt att de ledde stort och inte velat stöta sig med någon. Budskapet har därför varit, röst på oss om du inte gillar SD och "extrema åsikter" som Andersson säger i radioreklamen.

Tbh, I think LLMs can be hugely useful in a number of context. I just don't think we're gonna wake up one day and find that it's taken over the world.

I understand the argument that something smarter than US would pose a threat. But people keep treating ASI as totally unconstrained by time, resources or information. Assumptions which will never be true.

AI risks are obviously real, the hugging face attack showed that if nothing else. But the constant focus on human extinction and centering AI as the most dangerous thing in the world seems wholly unproven to me.

I believe that in 10 years, people will look back at the AI discourse today and see it as a form of social contagion, rather than rational discourse.

Even assuming some super intelligent AI there's just a lot of things that it would need in order to sustain itself and remain undetected. Things that I don't see how it could control.

It needs servers to live in, and electricity that someone pays for. A lot of it. Without being discovered. Bioweapon is the only option that could realistically cause mass casualties. It would need humans to set up a lab, buy the illegal ingredients, and execute the production.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. HOW is AI supposed to do this? Just saying "it's smarter than us, so it will figure it out" is not a real answer.

Tror det var Planet Money som diskuterade att frågor om ekonomi (och mycket annat) allt oftare läses av allmänheten som proxyfrågor om den nuvarande administrationen. Kanske kan vara en pusselbit för att förstå detta

Det är märkligt att vi har ett så tamt parlament i det här landet att när riksdagens ledamöter plötsligt börjar spela roll är ryggmärgsreflexen hos många att något är fel och behöver regleras. Försök förklara det för en amerikansk kongressledamot eller för all del en EU-parlamentariker.

Can't remember another time when Swedish intelligence shared current analysis openly in this way, and even less so to an international audience. A clear development in the use of strategic communications. A positive one in my opinion. www.ft.com/content/04a9...

Två frågor kvarstår dock. För det första, är detta för sent? De har kort tid på sig att kommunicera och övertyga väljarna om den nya linjen. För det andra, orkar partiet detta, eller kommer man slitas sönder, nu när partiet slutgiltigt valt sida.

Tycker L-uppgörelsen med SD verkar rimlig ur ett L-perspektiv. Jag hade såklart hellre sett att de samarbetade vänsterut, men om partiet nu valt det borgerliga blocket var deras nuvarande linje ohållbar.

Should be added here that doing so risks a new Syria, but I don't see how regime change can be achieved otherwise. However weak, there still has to be some actor on the ground that can push the regime aside.

Anders Schröder @andersschroder.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
If I was the US government and I was serious about regime change, finding ways to arm the Iranian opposition would be pretty high on my list. Something to look for as the campaign moves on to the next stage.

Anders Schröder @andersschroder.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
Absolutely not an Iran expert, but is there any viable path to regime change here? Even if the top leadership is killed, the regime is robust enough to just elect new leaders, no?

Why is every AI take either "it's all a grift" or "all jobs will be automated in 2027 and the robot overlords may end up murdering us". Surely the reasonable take is "AI will be useful and speed up growth but not more than other general purpose technologies."

Stella Carlson said that before the shooting, the man was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather.
"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. The ICE agents approached us, told us to back up, back up. I'm not even sure why we were helping them, if anything. And I got on the snow bank, and next thing I knew, they shot him," Carlson said.

I see people now quoting Carney and saying "see, the rules based order was always fake, just a tool for US hegemony". Like I said, while the order was imperfect, I don't agree with that description.

Anders Schröder @andersschroder.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
This is fundamentally different from the analogy in Havel were the signs aren't bringing real socialism any closer. Carney is right though in that the order as we once knew it is gone. But like all values, it wasn't imaginary just because it was socially constructed. It existed and it was good.
1201
Anders Schröder @andersschroder.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Yes, Carney is right that the rules based order has alway been imperfect, but he goes too far in his cynicism. The order did constrain stronger actors and established norms to an extent. And evoking the rules based order helped keep that order alive.

Anders Schröder @andersschroder.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
This comparison does not ring true to me. In Havel's example, the worker of the world unite-signs were put up by people who had no interest in having the workers of the world unite. By contrast, many of us who talk about a rules based order would like it to be true.
1252
Anders Schröder @andersschroder.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Havel pointed out that no one believed in the sign, yet everyone kept putting them up. This is what he called living within a lie. Carney compared that to the rules based international order, who he claimed was also a lie that we needed to pretend to stop believing in.

Anders Schröder @andersschroder.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Carney in his Davos speech reference communist dissident Václav Havel, who talked about the Greengrocer who lives within a lie. By putting up the "workers of the world unite"-sign in his window the greengrocer signaled not a belief in worker solidarity, but loyalty to the regime.
