Call me crazy, and maybe I'm just out of touch, but something seems... off with the reaction to this. The amount of people on reddit that I'm seeing gloating, openly celebrating this, it's really just something I have never seen before. Not even the Trump assassination attempt had this kind of reaction.

All I'm saying, is that if I was a US adversary, I would absolutely be spinning up a million LLMs to post the most provocative possible stuff. The technology absolutely exists - just yesterday sama@ was talking about the dead internet theory. I'm worried that someone is going to see that horrifying video of the shooting, and then see all these horrifying comments online, and do something equally horrifying.

do you know the name Luigi Mangione?

Yeah, fair enough. No doubt there is some real-ness to the sentiment. I do think it's an easy way to hurt the US to fan the flames of divisive things like this. But at the end of the day flame doesn't exist without kindling... I guess it's just the world we live in. How depressing.

If you need a counter balance go look at the comments on the Mike Rowe Youtube video addressing this.

You'll see people fawning over Kirk like he was a prophet. Dear leader stuff.

They have already been doing this for years -- over a decade -- with meatbag posters before LLMs were widely available.

How do you think we got to the current political climate in the first place?
