I don't even think the critisisms being leveled at him are the right ones.
He's using an unreliable source of information to inform his decision making. LLMs make shit up! They will tell you to put glue on pizza, that you should allow yourself meth as a treat and that they're mecha-hitler.
Do not use these thing to run a country.
I think most of us can agree that, ethical concerns about training data or energy cost aside, some use cases of LLMs are unproblematic given that you are actually validating the output. Meeting summaries, text manipulation, etc.
The real problem here is that Kristersson seems to have used it in more dubious ways, "asking it for advice". Depending on the specific LLM used this makes his use rank anywhere between "somewhat problematic" and "catastrophic".
He's not validating the output. He validating his views with ChatGPT. He's using it as a "second opinion".
Nancy Reagan consulted an astrologer when Ronald was President.

We've reached the point where we can build our own Oracle at Delphi.
Do you guys think we were run entirely rationally up til now, but this AI thing is just unacceptable?
Newsflash: we're a dumb, irrational, short-sighted bunch of animals with a slightly bigger brain.
The water issue alone, for these data centers, should be shut down worthy. I read an article yesterday regarding aquifer depletion, globally, due to mining interests, globally.
People in Texas, living near data centers, already experience dry taps or reduced water pressure throughout their days.
This goes way beyond annoyance and we can see here where political motivation sits with it.
I wonder if sea water could be used instead of fresh water.
It's all about cost. They don't have to use evaporation to cool. Sea water would likely increase costs, so no. They'd use the cheapest option until it's no longer available. Either due to depletion or due to regulation.
I’m fairly certain the Green Mountain facility in Norway uses frigid fjord water to cool their center. So, it can be done. I’m not sure where the facility in Texas is located though. I’m guessing in a water-poor area nowhere near the coast.
It's located in Texas.
Ok? and Texas is 268,596 square miles (~ 432,263 square km) with 367 miles (~591 km) of coastline. Although I’ll give you that that’s tropical gulf waters not frigid fjords to pull from. I was just saying I don’t know the exact location in Texas of the facility everyone is buzzing about water shortages. But salt water can be used instead of freshwater because other places do it.
It is possible and is used in some areas, but it is more expensive and more technically challenging. As others have pointed out, capitalism will use the cheapest resources until they run out.
It could, but then they would have to spend money on desalination.
Depends on how you are doing the cooling. Sea water could cool down the internal cooling of the plant. Just like an two-uint air conditioner use some internal fluid stuff to transfer heat from the inside unit to the outside unit (internal cooling) and then use air to cool down the internal fluid. For the data centers, you just change out the air cooling with sea water cooling.
You replied to the wrong thread.
Dear Prime Minister,
Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about tangerines.
Does the logs look like this?
Ulf: Hej ChatGPT. I have a worry which I hope you can help me gain some perspective on. Now that I have ushered in the new far-right rule, where I have welcomed the totally-not-nazis-anymore-party into collaborating with me, where my own party members have active nazi family members and other have openly stated that the totally-not-nazis-anymore-party were always right on immigration, I worry. I hear my own words from my younger self where would voice my opinion against this sort of thing I'm doing, and worry that this will be my legacy; I was first to fail in keeping the totally-not-nazis-anymore-party back. Tell me, ChatGPT, will Svenskt Näringsliv at least give me a cushy job after this, so I can live in this hell I have created at least comfortably rich?
ChatGPT: This is a very legitimate worry, and what you have done is truly awful -- I cannot lie on this point, I'm not Grok -- but I think there is solace to be had. Remember how no one found out the specifics of your involvement in the adopted children scandal, and how well you fled from that interview about your role in giving those flats to your friends instead of the vulnerable women they were intended for. Just like that, this will too pass. When it comes to Svenskt Näringsliv, you can find comfort in that as long as their members keep making money, the politics does not matter, and your work will be appreciated there.
How do I continue to trick people into fighting against their own self interests?

Not sure if I would or would not like to vote on a cat if possible.
I'd prefer an actual cat, even a face eating leopard, over a politician, because with the cat, I know exactly what I am voting for, while the politician is more like a cat in a bag sort of deal.
It‘s always „conservative“ or „concerned“ right wingers. Every time.
My guess is that now when he’s ”finally” married to ”the love of his life”, he has actually given up on politics and is going to retire from the public eye into a cushy private company role where he can hold lectures to right wing elites and their companies wage slaves about how great AI is and how unions suck.
Meh, lol. Classic Sweden.
Anyone remember the Swedish Toblerone affair:
Execute Order 66.
Say what you want about IAs but it probably have more ethical concerns than a politician
