Frieren didn't estabilish "evil".
Therefore, from the point of view of demons, the elves are evil.

lots of people fool you into thinking they're actually intelligent when they "aren't". I don't know how you can objectively measure social intelligence if not for how they interact with someone. The demons have an entire hierarchy which implies cohesion, which requires empathy and emotion. They could not exist as they are portrayed in reality.

>The demons have an entire hierarchy which implies cohesion, which requires empathy and emotion
Not really. Their hierarchy is purely based on power and is generally disregarded. They have no real social cohesion outside of mostly staying out of eachother's way. This is all pure instinct, no different than predators generally not hunting other predators. At best demons are wolves who were given chatGPT.

Idk about you but I can go from concept to speech while understanding both. Humans have something called understanding, we use speech to translate a concept into a form that can be communicated.
You're not just trying to predict what the next word in a conversation should be through some sort of probabilistic model, you're trying to communicate some sort of idea.
LLMs don't do this, they're a purely probabilistic model with no actual thinking or understanding.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.21521
This paper is a great example. Unless you're talking to someone with very advanced Alzheimer's you're not going to get these kinds of answers. If someone understands a concept then they'll also be able to solve a simple problem by applying it.

Humans understand concepts, LLMs don't. Conceptual representation in humans comes from actual conceptual understanding, in LLMs it comes from being really good at guessing. These are 2 fundamentally different things.
Do you perhaps need help in understanding the difference between the representation of something and the actual thing?

you're getting weirdly, stupidly, stuck on this "representation" thing as if that's something. WE REPRESENT CONCEPTS IN OUR MINDS WE DON'T HOLD THE ACTUAL CONCEPT IN OUR MIND... or does an apple suddenly appear in your brain every time you think about fruit?

Anyway, the point is that these "concept representations" DO exist in LLM as stated by your own fucking paper it's just that they suck.

because a race that is able to comingle and attain intelligence to the point of not only being able to speak but also to be extremely capable of something as advanced as magic would only be able to arise under circumstances where they are able to experience and learn those necessary components of language and magic... which would require a society... which would require empathy and community to build... which is lacking in demons. No human in the world is born with the capability to speak, even with a lack of true understanding of it. They require interaction with others, a community, relationships to establish those things.

Literally nobody ever said that. Are you functionally illiterate?
Have you actually read the paper or did you just see the word "concept" and latch onto it? Concept representation is just that, representation. It's not something you "have" or that "exists in LLMs" because it's not a feature of either LLMs or humans, it's just the way that a deeper feature presents itself on the surface.
If you're not going to actually read the paper at least skim page 2 and the bit about conceptual understanding in humans.

you're living in a romanticized version of mafia, the ones with empathy get fucked over by the ones without both in gang banger times and self serving backstabbers were what buried the american mafia scene
only difference in frieren is that the power gap is so vast between the top dog and underlings that it's suicide to try to turn on them, the demon society literally measures your worth and status in the pecking order by how much of a juggernaut of magic you are so the unstability with infighting is rare unless the power gap is close and even then they would rather scheme than fight their own because they can't even eat their own

it's all put there right in the lore and told to you, all you have to do is look at modern psychopaths, organized crime and the demons kratocracy method of running things culturally to see it

I'm not going to respond to your claims about the necessary social conditions for developing magic because that's retarded.

>learn those necessary components of language... which would require a society... which would require empathy and community to build
Solitary animals are capable of some degree of communication. There's no reason to assume a more intelligent solitary animal would be incapable of more complex communication. Alligators are cannibals but they still hang out together because loyalty is not a necessary requirement for the existence of beneficial social behavior.

>Alligators do exhibit some forms of social cooperation, but these are limited and context-dependent. The most notable example is among hatchlings and juveniles: newly hatched alligators form small groups called "pods," which stay together for protection against predators, demonstrating a clear benefit from group living. The mother also guards her young for up to two years, providing further cooperative defense.
>Among adults, alligators are generally territorial and solitary, especially males, but they can be found in small, close-knit groupsโ€”particularly in favorable basking or feeding spots. While not highly cooperative, adults do display complex social behaviors such as dominance hierarchies, ritualized displays, and vocal communication, especially during courtship and territorial disputes. These behaviors help reduce direct conflict and organize access to resources, which can be seen as a form of social coordination rather than true cooperation.

Why are you so confident that sufficiently intelligent alligators couldn't evolve complex language or society?

>sufficiently intelligent alligators couldn't evolve complex language or society
because a society is vastly different from existing in nature? Resource sharing, raising of young, it all requires some level of empathy, which even in your example the crocodiles showed some level of with their social cooperation young rearing etc. and again, you don't just spawn out of the womb able to talk. That is something that requires engaging in a community to develop. I firmly believe that no society could truly exist without empathy.

state is inherently parasitical in nature and only shares with its citizens to the bare minimum to keep things running as you can see from the world around you
the difference is demons don't need complex bureaucracy or hierarchical structures because it's as easy as looking at who measures highest on the mana dick measuring contest to know who gives the orders

cats, as we know by our domestication of them, can have empathy for other species (humans) and so are not a good analog for demons which are explicitly stated to have no capacity for empathy
>demons are just evolved version of that
you're assuming that it's a simple 1 to 1 "evolution" to go from simplistic mimicing of noise to speech and coordination like that shown by the demons. I believe there's a necessity for the capability of empathy along that line.

>Resource sharing
Why are you assuming this needs to be part of demon society? You said "society" must exist because of language, but nothing about language implies that it needs to be used to share resources. You're projecting specific details of human society onto a nebulous word that was only introduced as being 'something necessary for language'.

>I firmly believe that no society could truly exist without empathy.
You can believe what you want but you haven't actually provided any reason to agree with you. If you want to turn what you said into a coherent logical argument one necessary step is defining what a society is.

Society is when people come together to unite their strength to overcome the chaos of nature and establish some form of order. It's necessary for language to develop, as one must engage in communication with others to properly learn it. Society requires empathy because it is the foundation upon which relationships are built, purely relying on fear in a dictatorship without empathy would eventually fall to rebellion due to having to educate individuals and given them an understanding of the world.

>dude is so retarded that he doesn't even know how most non-nomadic civilizations were born
access to water and arable land created excess of food, excess of food lured in people who wanted a piece of that, the people there first formed hierarchy by promising a part of the food for help with the labor, excess labor and vast excess of food created a tempting target for raiding, more people were accepted in for security and survival
these proto-countries then through shared culture formed larger coalitions that were then united by bloodline marriages and alliances

the people with arable land and access to fresh water didn't accept people to share in that because of empathy, it was because of self interest and survival, it's arguable if it is even symbiotic anymore in modern days

empathy is the driving force that encourages people to unite together BECAUSE uniting together is beneficial to the individual. People aren't sociopathic freaks that think through "well if I give him some food now he'll work for me later and I'll be able to produce more food" they think "this guy needs food I'll help him" and THEN they both benefit in the long term.

for demons their food is humans so they have a interest in hunting them efficiently, their hierarchy is entirely based on mana / power so there is no need for complexities in hierarchies or bureaucracy because they don't need to farm or build with hands
their entire bread and butter is hunting and the only reason they need to cooperate is to survive and hunt more efficiently

I'm going to paraphrase this as "cooperate and establish social structures".

So your argument is
>to have language a species must [cooperate and establish social structures]
. I already find this questionable because many things vocally communicate without cooperating, but I'll give it to you. Next you argue
>[Cooperating and establishing social structures] requires empathy because it is the foundation upon which relationships are built, purely relying on fear in a dictatorship without empathy would eventually fall to rebellion due to having to educate individuals and given them an understanding of the world.
I don't believe this. In particular people who hate each other are capable of rationally working together for mutual benefit. Furthermore, even if you characterize them as unstable, dictatorships do in fact exist. You seem to be suggesting those things can't happen in an evolutionary context but I haven't seen any supporting argument.

I don't know of any generally accepted ceiling on how long people who hate each other can work together. And demons need not hate each other, they might only be apathetic outside of occasional mutually beneficial actions. If they all live individually but get together to hunt some humans once a month, and follow whoever is best at finding humans to hunt, they are already [cooperating and establishing social structures]

Fun fact: In reality many different species, even ones that eat each other, can work together to hunt sardines.

I think the biggest reason Frieren's demons wouldn't be able to form a society is because they're never shown to do anything for any reason other than killing humans. The few exceptions just selfishly follow their whims without care for anyone else. Without humans, they don't seem to have a purpose that would drive them to develop a society. They feel as little for other demons as they do for humans, but they kill humans because for some reason it's in their nature to do so. They're akin to a sentient cancer that's attached itself to humanity.

Demons are nothing but a more advanced form of mimic. But instead of eating you, they subvert everything.
And just like you don't really need a detailed explanation about mimic's biology, reproduction and ecosystem to accept then into a fantasy setting, you don't need a detailed explanation about demon's society.
Not having to explain everything with IRL logic is the fucking point of fantasy.

humans aren't purely empathic beings because we're still beholden to the fact that individual gain in the moment generally outweighs good for the group, but in the case where an action wouldn't necessarily benefit us as much as the whole empathy kicks in and tells us to use that action for others. Demons however would never do that because they lack empathy and so could never form division of labors or the like.

Mimics and monsters don't make biological sence and are just there for humans to slay.
Having a medieval tier tecnology doesn't make sence when magic exist, but they still use it because it looks cool.
How the whole world is organized neither makes sence, and it's just so our protagonists can have their epic adventures.

That doesn't follow and even if it did it wouldn't be a contradiction. Maybe demons are individualists and only rarely meet up to make capitalist exchanges or hunt humans. Maybe demons live in utilitarian groups where each demon is only allowed to live if they are the most skilled at producing some good, meaning the group's access to the highest quality goods is dependent on preserving its members. Those are both plausible systems of organization which would benefit from the development of language, you just don't like them.

Rather than evil or good, Frieren doesn't care about any of that. she just acknowledges that demons are locked in a battle to the death with humanity.

demons naturally dont back stab one another because they can subconciously feel their fellow demons strength and they have this thing called pride. to them it makes no sense to back stab because they would be admitting they are weak to other demons. a lot of their behavior doesn't pass the smell test to be honest. they seem more like evil retards than evil demons. but ultimately the fact that they die and disappear instead of like a normal animal really gives the "xxx awareta" type DQ feel that I think the native isekai is going for on purpose.

this is actually not true in frieren because many demons are actually major characters. For example Freezer is an evil shit bag, no explination is needed to explain why he is evil. however why is he after the dragon balls? why does he want them? what does he think about society and the world? all those things needed to get answered so that his defeat could be satisfying.

Anon the other anon is correct. Human beings dont need to use logic to talk. we CAN but it's not a process. it's not from point A to logical confirmation to point B then speech. these processes can happen independently from one another or not at all.

other anon seems correct to me. LLMs do exhibit emergent behavior, however it's not so much caused by being good at cognition. a lot of the emergent behavior is visual spacial reasoning. this is why you can create an LLM and then suddenly it can produce art if hooked up correctly. More over, human cognition in the hippocampus is a lot like an LLM anyway. it's a 3 dimensional system that creates a pattern or network of data that represents some kind of thing, thought, object, person, idea, etc. The main lacking of LLMs is that it was never designed to be an agent. I think a lot of hype around AI safety makes no sense to me. For sure the glownogs know that LLM is just a piece of an agent and are busy at work creating the rest of it. maybe thats what the proposed nvidia plant is for.

Racist here, no one did this until the left began writing about how problematic the portrayal of demons is and began drawing real world parallels with non whites. stop being cringe retards and watch the fucking show without projecting your white man's burden onto everything.
