Like I said, to me from a CS/ML perspective it’s almost an admission that he hasn’t been able to identify all of the necessary features for his model, unless the results turn out to truly be an incredibly thin margin.

It was actually unbearable how transparently he channels all his energy against the democrats and Harris.\n\nHis streams have been FULL of weird ass rhetoric and conclusions that are mind-boggling in the way he arrives to them. Like his January 6th take from yesterday, he just pulled Elon's tweet, said it has 50k likes so that means he's right. He would've never done this in the past. He's CONSTANTLY fighting anything from the left UNLESS it's too on the nose that it's bad. He's obfuscating realities... *Is he on a payroll?* Why is he all of a sudden so invested in just re-directing any noise towards Trump (unless, again, it's too obvious it's a bad thing) and completely dives head first in some of the weirdest and illogical takes I've seen him pull out of nowhere.\n\nEven his gaming takes, if they involve identity politics, he's pulling some hypocritical argument. For example, in the case of the idiotic outrage regarding Harry Potter game, he was like \"normies don't care about this stuff, they'll buy the game anyway\". He was right. But when confronted about the new AC game with the same argument, all of a sudden it's \"no, I do believe normies do care to an extent\" to the point that they won't buy AC. Because he can't just accept it as it would go against the narrative he's pimped on stream for the last 2 months.\n\n*But that's just run of the mill shit. His takes on Ukraine, Israel, Trump, Biden, Harris, polls, the electorate, January 6th, Elon, random conspiracies, the assassination attempt, etc. All have been leaning HARDLY conservative/ russian propaganda.*\n\nMy man literally came out of nowhere tonight and said that the betting odds from some random betting website (which showed trump at 63%) for presidential elections are more trust worthy than those that show Harris in front by 2% and that there's something shady there. Like how does he juggle this centrist bullshit fence he's on so well that more people don't actually expose him already for his insane and inconsistent rhetoric? What's going on here?\n\nIs there an arc in progress? Even if it was, my man is so far the deep end of the conservative rabbit hole that I doubt even a conversation with Destiny can pull him back to like at least a moderate position.
