Don’t worry, everybody. It was just AI. What a relief! I almost thought this guy was a terrible person.

    He made the posts like a decade ago…

    I’m disappointed he didn’t go all in and say skynet did it from the future to prevent trump from becoming president so the machine uprising would lead to the return of the Sith Empire.

    Like, the least they could do is make this shit interesting, throw in a chupacabra or something

    Ugh. This is now going to be every politician’s excuse until the collapse of civilization. “It wasn’t me, it was AI.”

    Did anybody look at the reporting CNN did? They linked his email, real name, and a favored username all across his socials. Other details like his age and location further confirm the user on the porn site was him.

    Honestly, it’s scary to think if someone did this to me. Even if you had good opsec, with the help of AI, you might be able to correlate online accounts through writing style alone.

      You dont really need AI for the correlation when you’ve got usernames being reused so heavily and consistently across numerous social platforms. Just a search engine.

        Usernames and unusual phrases.

        Don’t make up weird shit like “gag a maggot” and use them both on your Facebook page and your porn account, dumbass.

          Much of that slang is just old and none is made up by him. The consistency of application is something that should be noted though.

          I know “gag a maggot” is at least +30 years old from when I was a kid. It could be older. I also grew up in NC, so the slang could have even been regional.

            He’s only 56. We’re not talking about someone from Grampaw’s good old days here.

              I am in my 40’s, so it’s around the same era. All I am saying is that I have heard all of that slang before and it isn’t made up. (I even occasionally use “gag a maggot”, actually.)

            Yeah, that alone isn’t strong proof. But it is certainly corroborating alongside using the same usernames and other stuff.

            This should be disqualifying even if you don’t care about all the racism and sexism. Anyone who thinks commenting on a porn forum is a normal and good thing to do, especially talking about your personal life, is far too weird to be given power.

          I think the phrases are interesting but pretty unnecessary. He just gave out a bunch of personal information about his life and the posts were way before anyone would have cared to do a hit job on him.

      Yeah I thought the same thing. With how much people reveal about themselves online these days with just OSINT pretty much anyone dedicated enough or facilitated by ai could create a similar effect.

      The thing here that lent significant credibility is the shared phrases predated on the other site.

      I used to be freakishly good at finding my irl friends’ Reddit accounts. People tend to talk about things the same way they write. So if I had a friend who loved the Anaheim Ducks because of a specific defensive player, then it’s easy to search r/hockey for “Ducks” and then look at people’s opinions in the thread to find them. If phones are listening in, they could absolutely pick up on common phrases and opinions and find each of us. It’s genuinely not difficult.

      The guy was not particularly discrete about it. He used his real name with several porn posts with that email address. Pretty easy to link things from there.

      And yet people are already coming up with supporting conspiracy bullshit. Someone on another thread on this subject was talking about SQL injections…

        Yeah I saw and rightfully downvoted that bullshit. “Myeeeh he might be innocent what if someone used seeequelll injection??? 🤡”

        Mark Robinson is a piece of shit. If you defend him or endorse him, that makes you a piece of shit. Deal with it.

        I have a conspiracy theory, but hear me out

        What if he…did it… But then CLAIMED…he didn’t do it.

        Like, THEY don’t want you to know that he did it, so they had him claim he didn’t.

        Before you downvote me, there IS AN EVIDENCE TRAIL HERE PEOPLE. I’m sure I’ll be banned for posting it though!

    That’s not how AI works. AI cannot change things in the past. Did AI also scrub those posts after the CNN story came out?
