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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

The next chance for the Supreme Court to rule that these kind of tariffs are illegal and that the law Trump is using was never meant for this kind of thing will be on Tuesday, when the justices said new decisions will be announced.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.
