All of this is so fucking bizarre I can't even wrap my head around it anymore. It's a bot. How the fuck is it suddenly killing people? How is talking to a bot a crime now? Did everyone lose their minds?

    How is talking to a bot a crime now?

    Planning to do a crime is criminal misconduct. If you're talking to a bot with the intent to gather resources to perform a crime, you're in the process of committing the crime you intended to perform.

    Wrong. An attempt to commit a crime is a crime. Planning it is not. I can plan to rob a bank all I want. You would have to prove intent. Typing things in a chat doesn't prove intent.

    There are so many actions that are crimes. Doing X with intent to Y is a crime. Proving intent can be tricky. But that's up to the DA to argue.

    That's what I said. Typing things into a chat doesn't prove intent. For the same reason google is not monitoring searches and sending them to police. You can type anything you want into a search box. It's never a crime.

    It’s evidence that can be argued is intent. People have been convicted of murder and evidence they googled how to do it was on their computers and used in court
