Agreed. He seems to be smart enough to never be caught. Could just be the need to be liked/famous/known. On the other hand, he might not have expected to be noticed by someone who knew him. That's a real 0.01% you can't predict in your perfect planning.

How many similar crimes go unsolved? It can't be common. I doubt it's a matter of just being smart.

He doesn't seem smart at all... He took off his mask in front of a camera to flirt with a receptionist. He left a long extensive trail of evidence. He manifesto sounds like it was written by a 14 year old. It only took him four days to get caught. Like most criminals, he is not smart.

  It’s very difficult to not get caught in a total over militarized surveillance state. He is not stupid

    Less than 50% of murders are solved these days[1]. If he hadn't been carrying around all of the evidence and was more careful with the mask he very well may have gotten away with it, the NYPD had no clue who or where he was [1] https://www.npr.org/2023/04/29/1172775448/people-murder-unsolved-killings-record-high https://www.npr.org/2023/04/29/1172775448/people-murder-unso...

      Most murderers don't target the capitalist elite though.

        This. If you or I would have been gunned down on the street, do you think the police would have had such a manhunt going on?

      Do you honestly believe all crimes are equally investigated with the same diligence and budget like in a tv show?
      - sumeno 2y ago
        No, but most murders aren't done by complete strangers who live far from the crime scene either. When they are, and they are careful, they are extremely hard to catch

  Is having bugs in your code proof that you're not smart, or is it more likely momentary carelessness or even just that humans always have a non-zero error rate?
