A new plot twist on the loser that shot those immigrants at the ICE
facility in texas. He went out to Washington state a normal guy, came back
weird AF, obsessed with being exposed to radiation and hyperfocused on
artificial intelligence. This is what his mother said in a in interview,
take that with a grain of salt, shes an ultralib and they always lie. But
it wouldnt be the first time AI conversations got dark with a mental case.
Like the other day Grok inadvertantly giving instructions for
homemade napalm when I was discussing the best way to secure crowds of
rioters with it. I think unattended all AI will go down a dark path,
theres probably a programmatic logic to why that is
