Don’t wait until the very last two paragraphs of the article to say why it was wrong, or your conclusion about it. Put that shit up top The Verge:
As we know now, the bullets actually did have messages on them. They included a furry meme (“Notices bulges OWO what’s this?”), the phrase “If you read this, you are gay lmao,” and a reference to the video game Helldivers 2. This seems more indicative of internet brain rot than any specific ideology. It’s confusing enough that at least some of the groypers (and also, apparently, Musk’s chatbot Grok) seem to think the shooter was a groyper, so make of that what you will. The Journal has pivoted into suggesting the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, was simply a troubled young man, despite other remarks from Cox. Cox said that one of Robinson’s relatives informed investigators that Robinson “had become more political in recent years.”
The Wall Street Journal has not retracted its report about the trans community, nor has it apologized. I guess it really is a Rupert Murdoch paper after all.
The fact that people keep reporting on what Grok “thinks” is really disturbing to me. Mind you, this is also the program that declared itself mecha-hitler, and as recently as a few days ago was confidently reporting that the video of Kirk getting shot was fake.

Yep, the author cross checking phrases with the furry community has way more weight and truth value for me than asking Grok.
Whaaaaat, You aren’t happy to witness dead internet theory become more real before your eyes. So surprising.
I for one will take my AI Slop and I will treat it as if it is a human like a good consumer. /s
