Oh, I’m sure there’s a fair number of people enjoying gaming the system by making the ridiculous claim, and I’m sure there’s a bunch of stupid ass MAGA falling for the gaming and replying no and arguing with the rabble, which just raises the number of views and pushes the view in the algorithm, but I think we both recognize the number of kids that really think the kid is conservative or MAGA is tiny and consists of the mentally and emotionally disturbed.

I think you misread my post. It was only ever about the what the title says it is about.
I draw no conclusions about anything based on the AI headlines in your original post. But people believing what they want to believe, or not admitting what they don't want to admit, does not require any clever messaging or spin.
I listened to Derek Thompson's podcast today, and he opened with some words about the shooter's motivation. Thompson offers that people who do violence like that are almost always impossible to pin down to any mainstream political philosophy.
Variations of Thompson's avoidance are the norm for anybody who's made a lifestyle of reminding everybody who will listen that Trumpism is an existential threat. Bluesky types of lefties are admittedly actively engaged in claims that the shooter is far right, because the gamer culture where the jokes came from, is allegedly extremist right. Even that part of the claim is probably BS, to say nothing of the shooter's politics, which Occam still tells us are banal pop culture hatred of the right.

As I mentioned above, Luke knew that code from Helldivers immediately. He plays the game avidly, and leans left. Hardly a bastion of the far right. From my experience, the gamer culture is fairly apolitical, or far left.

I draw one. At the time the algorithm generated the headline, the left was winning the spin war on Twitter.

Only you know the prompt you used. Since you’ve iterated twice that the AI response meant something about a certain point in time, and haven’t updated your experimental results for our current point in time, I assume that the current results aren’t fun for you to post. And it remains observable fact that claims about the shooter being on the far right, are the domain of wing nuts. Mainstream lefties meanwhile are engaged in simple avoidance.

My leftist brother has been strangely silent these past few days. It is my hope that the tsunami of anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-GOP posts that have characterized his social media presence have given him pause to consider his role in fomenting the hate that led to this.

I’m curious as to what, if any, common patterns or parallels can be drawn between Robinson with Crooks and Mangione. All three under thirty males (that is why I leave out the much older Routh) of documented above average intelligence and coming from seemingly good family backgrounds and no (known) prior criminal acts. Was there a common but, as yet, unrecognised, pathology at play? Or was it simply a matter of failing prey to the extremist and banal populism that leads to amoral and nihilistic thinking and, in these three instances, an immoral criminal act with tragic consequences? I don’t know.
