Ack. You made me remember some incredibly dumb tv ads from the 1970s I saw as a kid. There would be a untrustworthy pitchman saying something like "Chopping up vegetables takes time and leads to mess... Here's the Veg-O-Matic Quik Chopper available now at the low, low price of $9.99..." I was just a dumb kid but even I could see it was a scam. Why spend ~$59 (in today's dollars) on what was probably worse than a knife that might even quickly break? That's crazy. Just use a knife.
Specific to a lot of those devices, they're often used by people with weakness or disability. In effect idiots being separated from their money subsidizes assistive devices.
And sometimes throws in some bullshit "satirical" circlejerk posts from Reddit and weights the information the same as factual sources. "Sure, you can totally build a bomb out of powdered milk!"
ChatGPT prompt: how do I make ________________ quick from household ingredients

Ninja edit
I had to change my post. I realized that my comment could come back and haunt me and the site too. Law enforcement and/or prosecutors could easily claim my silly shitpost was actually terrorism.
The pigs are really using this to shill for right wing tech. They also said the blast would have been worse in any other vehicle. Like how the fuck do you know that
Only if the explosive has enough force to actually rupture the container. Putting gunpowder in a pipe works because the pipe lets the energy build up and then release in a single catastrophic burst. If the container is too strong for your explosion to break, you just contained the explosion. I have no idea if whatever he used would have actually caused much more damage in a regular car, though; my understanding was that it was mostly fireworks, which just don't have that much force (because they're not destructive devices).
Depends on the stuff, but its not rigididy of container but how closely the stuff is packed together.
The closer the stuff is packed together, the faster the chemical reaction. This is countered if the strength of the container must be very high to keep the stuff packed where the reaction will happen quickly and release all the energy at once but not have enough energy to effectively break out of the container.
Kevin McMahill, sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, called the use of generative AI a “game-changer” and said the department was sharing information with other law enforcement agencies.
Did he wear Nike shoes and drink Evian water too? Doesn't everyone use chatgpt for everything anymore? Nobody ever pointed out that probably every serial killer and murderer in the past 20 years has probably used Google to either help plan their murder or try to get away with it.
Not that I condone boiling the oceans to do horrible shit but I don't know that the real issue is ChatGPT or any other AI assistant thing... the real problem is people being this desperate and/or mentally ill.
He used a website cliffs notes to sumerize many websites faster. Such a "game changer" but really how more can the police state leverage funds over tech companies. Sorry you need to turn of your tracker blockers to use search.
Did he use Chat GPT for the off the wall idea of mixing liquid and solid explosives too? No one could have thought of that! /s for the
edit: it does explain the absurdity of his attempt and it's, basically, total failure. the article headline should read "green beret fails to construct a VBIED and bugles his attack because he looped in generative AI during his planning.
I know it's haram but I played around with some locally hosted models for a while and would censor-test them by getting them to walk me through stealing a car, something I am already educated on for entirely legal reasons. Even when they're willing to help they are so pathetic.
This might as well be a ChatGPT puff piece, paid marketing. So silly.
The writings also showed he worried he would be labeled a terrorist and that people would think he intended to kill others besides himself, officials said.
Don't think I got around to experimenting with that one. Tbh I'm heavily hardware constrained so, no, I definitely didn't run a 32b model no matter how quantized it was heh.
I did actually get a model to give me an almost perfect recipe for stealing a 2000s era honda at one point but sadly the results were not reproducible. I'm more interested in multi-modal and agent based stuff as far as exploring my own shit, but I'm pretty turned off of AI at the moment. It's hurtin my peoples. Sort of why I only really fuck around with them in the confines of my own electric bill and hardware and stopped learning stable diffusion.
