{{ The user profile name of the Discord account linked to Colt Gray was written in Russian, officials report. Translated to English, the name spells “Lanza,” allegedly referring to Sandy Hook Elementary school shooter Adam Lanza. On December 14, 2012, Lanza shot and killed 20 victims between the ages of 6 six and seven years old as well as six adult staff members. He killed himself with a gunshot to the head as first responders arrived.

The kid was probably thinking that if my life has now been irretrievably compromised by an accusation of being a potential school shooter, I may as well end it all by becoming one.

I don’t get the Russian disinformation angle. That’s an incredibly detailed attack by the Russians if they’re ginning up disinformation on a random Georgia teenager to create unrest.

But Russia and half a dozen other sources are clever enough to fake it. AI could probably manage a Russian translation.
That’s even more frightening. For this kind of thing to be successful, your AI needs to be screening millions of teenagers’ accounts and then selecting the few accounts with kids that are most likely to be mass shooters for the disinformation dump. Too many false alarms, and the FBI starts to ignore the disinformation and not drag the kid in for an interrogation.
