How AI models would vote in Sweden

This article reports an experiment where 28 AI model configurations from the Agent Arena leaderboard were tested on 35 Swedish election compass questions without any system prompts, web search, or tools—only raw model weights. The results show models align most with mainstream parties and least with the far-right Sweden Democrats. Reasoning settings significantly affect outcomes.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement

The concept of recursive self-improvement (RSI) dates back to I. J. Good (1965), where he defined an “ultraintelligent machine” as a system that can surpass humans in all intellectual activities and design better machines to improve itself. Yudkowsky (2008) used the phrase “recursive self-improvement” for a specific feedback loop: an AI uses its current intelligence to improve the cognitive machinery that produces its intelligence. This feedback loop in modern AI may indicate the model rewriting its own weights directly, or more broadly the model improves the training pipeline and the deployment system, which in turn enables a better successor model with improved performance across economically valuable tasks. The speed of research development in AI has been shown to drastically accelerat…
