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.

Anybody that has to work for a living is fucked and not on the "can't do mathematics which they would find fulfilling"-level but on the "can't afford food, because human intelligence is simply not required anymore"-level.

> It's been fun watching the cope collapse from day to day. No one told me a slow takeoff Singularity would have so much schadenfreude.

I'm constantly surprised at how much schadenfreude there is on hacker news about LLMs. Like, do you guys (and girls) not have to work for a living?

Nobody said that they can't.

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 ethnonationalist.

> Some key issues for the Örebro Party locally include strong secularism, a 30-hour workweek with retained pay, lowered wages for politicians, expanded social housing, abolishing preschool-fees, making public transport free of charge, ending taxpayer funding of what it sees as wasteful sculptures, monuments and art and introducing free dental care. Nationally the party has set out large-scale remigration, closing the Swedish borders to immigration, a stricter assimilation policy and ending taxes on energy and fuel as some of its key issues.

Seems very sensible.

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.

#1 is as much a gamer's dream as Youtube shorts AI slop is a cinephile's dream.

What is this referencing?

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.

Funny how the jobs most at risk of automation now are tech jobs.

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

I have yet to hear a single convincing argument by a person that works in software why they can't be replaced.

I got a beautiful Latex template for my master thesis many years ago. I still remember fixing some things and it took me multiple days to figure out how this giant tangled web of a template worked. A year ago I tried to recreate the same look in a typst document. It took me less than a day to build it from scratch. Typst is genuinely one of the most awesome things I have seen in the last few years.

How do you know? You can easily create AI generated text that is impossible to identify as such.

I think be both agree that the future of software engineering is very uncertain right now (and likely will be for years). For me personally that alone is enough to recommend not investing money and time to get into software engineering anymore.

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

I think it would be even more clear if you just write what you mean.

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 than most people. If there is even a remote chance that LLMs will make your job obsolete I would pivot as fast as I could. This includes first and foremost software engineering.

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.

I agree but AI is a) owned by rich people and b) (sadly) too useful for this to matter.

There is literally nothing in it for me (all productivity gains will be pocketed by my employer) and there are many reasons to be afraid of it.

Wasn't that obvious the second ChatGPT 3.5 released?

I don't get it either. LLMs put the enshittification of software engineering into overdrive. The job is less fun (reviewing AI slop, sometimes even produced by entirely non-tech people like managers), the expectation of increased productivity, the expectation that we can now do the job of multiple people and salaries will decrease as well. I don't understand how so many software engineers I know cheer for this technology.

Do they not see that this will drastically change their lives for the worse? I'm in Europe, none of them has ever earned "fuck you" money.

Manual verification that the "judge" judges correctly.

Also, how exactly do you programmatically validate CVEs?

Creating more friction can also lead to a higher percentage of bots. I for one immefiately leave when I realize that I need to jump through several hoops before I'm actually allowed to participate on a site. Someone building a bot farm on the other hand is probably willing to tolerate quite some friction before giving up.

The two that came online in 2023 and 2024 are hardly a success story if you look at their history.
