It doesn’t need to be all of them

And it depends on the prompt

Does this matter vs actual capabilities?

Does the Kremlin being excited about a tech mean anything of the tech doesn’t deliver?

> There are thousands willing to do his role

1. Does that matter ? There are thousands willing to do my role - what impact does that have on me doing it or not?

2. Why weren’t these thousands doing it already?

Willing to and able to are different things

> I don’t think ai models come close to nuclear weapons or to run-of-the-mill, everyday carbon emissions in terms of danger to humanity.

Nuclear weapons don’t have AI but AI can have nuclear weapons

> They do as they are told

1. What about hallucinations ?

2. What are they told to do ?

That’s what I mean

Why did intel sharing stop ? To extract more from the EU: extortion

> Cannot win against Russia in the proxy war with Ukraine.

Ukraine existing even with Trump waging war against Iran negates this argument

Because the US is such a good market at some point “caving” makes it a good deal

Countries have their own self interest in mind

Take the USMCA - Canada and the US at times team up against Mexico and then the pendulum swings, line item by line item - no one has anyone’s back and they all have short memories

A deal with the US when others turns away from them is still a good deal

> Honestly, if Trump keeps giving intelligence to Ukraine against Russia, then it was worth paying the (idiotic) tariffs.

But you already had that - this tariffs “deal” was just extortion, adding a tax for nothing

> then it would be in their interest to give the rest something to aim for. Serfdom isn’t going to cut it

They can give them drones to aim at - enjoy your serfdom, let the AI tell you how to live your best life, don’t worry and don’t step out of the walled garden

New comment by foogazi in "Swedish parliament abolishes permanent residence visas for migrants"

foogazi — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:52:45 +0000

Those are significant differences - I didn’t find anything saying Swedish born citizenship can be taken away.

While permanent residency can be taken away due to moving away from Sweden or for criminal activity

Only Swedish criminals can remain in Sweden - probably good for RoW
