"stochastic terrorism" is, quite frankly, complete fucking bullshit. it's a unfalsifiable term used to try to tie your political opponents speech to actions that have fucking nothing to do with them, attempting to weaponize tragedy and mental illness for debate points. it was bullshit when AOC tried to accuse the republicans of "stochastic terrorism" for criticizing her, it was bullshit when the right claimed the left was committing "stochastic terrorism" for engaging in anti-ICE protests, and it remains bullshit now when you assign responsibility for attacks against sam altman to AI safety advocates and journalists who wrote negative things about him.

fuck your garbage rhetorical device! that's not how responsibility or blame works! you do not get to suppress any and all speech you disagree with and can find a way to vaguely deem "dangerous"!
