The subtitle was so Claudish I immediately bailed on reading this.

If an interviewer said that to me, I would take it to mean "I think you are better than you have presented yourself here". If they were direct and clear about why they were commenting on my demeanour, I don't think it would be a problem for me.

Both of the people you mention are political activists with problematic views, that's why their politics get brought up all the time.

You're basically saying that propaganda is not effective and then building a steel man to defend it, and I cannot take that starting position seriously.

That's a leading framing, but comparing an individual country and a 27 member trading bloc in that way makes no sense even if it wasn't.

Troll farms existed before GDPR. What I'm talking about is the supercharged disinformation capacity LLMs brought to them.

> your narrative might make more sense if there were any actual evidence or credibility behind the claims that non-EU states are engaged in anti-EU discourse

The uptick I'm talking about is in the last 2 years.

At least one Israeli Minister has bragged about them doing it.

I don't think you need specific evidence of Russia doing it, it's widely believed to be happening by security professionals. They famously had troll farms of people employed to spread disinformation and that can only have been accelerated by LLMs.

Anti-EU regulation sentiment really seems to have an uptick in line with widespread availability of LLMs.

The EU isn't perfect, but the catastrophising I read feels mostly like astro-turfing attempts at destabilisation.

It's probably more easily noticed from inside the EU.

Not specific to this project, but nowadays when I see "written in rust" I hear "written by Claude".
