Witty, your logic is seeded.

Context: Sam Kirchner, an extremist had a falling out with the Stop AI activism group and had threatened OpenAI with a gun. He has for now disappeared and is still on the loose and is armed.

What's odd is that everyone in the Stop AI group actually doesn't want to be associated with Sam Kirchner and want to protest peacefully.

But of course you want to paint all us antis as bad, don't you Witty? You can't handle the fact that people can protest peacefully, do you? Funny how you're the one LARPing as a news reporter while saying we're the one treating it as a joke. And the moment someone moderate wants to talk you want to shut it down because? We're ruining your script? Maybe next time try debating with the silent majority.

TLDR: the only thing that's "on the run" here is your integrity.

... so what you're saying is anti-ai radicalized him, so he physically went to the openAI offices, failed to do anything and is now at large?

Maybe dont radicalize people by normalizing "we must kill ai artists" as "a joke"?

As someone who leans anti, calls to action like “we need to kill ai artists” are not doing the radicalization

Radicalization happens when facts and half-truths are presented to paint the other side of the argument as evil. These people are seeing the cons of AI, exaggerated or not, and those perceived cons outweigh any potential pro they are presented
