I think the title overstates the strength of the conclusion. The hazy counting argument seems weak to me but I don’t think it’s literally “no evidence” for the claim here: that future AIs will scheme.
I agree, they’re wrong to claim it’s “no evidence.” I think that counting arguments are extremely slight evidence against scheming, because they’re weaker than the arguments I’d expect our community’s thinkers to find in worlds where scheming was real. (Although I agree that on the object-level and in isolation, the arguments are tiiiny positive evidence.)
