That explains why it was so shitty.

[-] InternetLefty@hexbear.net 50 points 5 months ago

A concerning moment that morons everywhere who were too stupid to use google can now just ask a question to ChatGPT and have it google things for them

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago

too stupid to use google

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.

Honestly a lot of those kitchen tools/gimmicks are great for people with low mobility or dexterity due to disability or illness.

[-] Idontevenknowanymore@mander.xyz 23 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

Why do you hate innovation? We must be eternally making new mundane gizmos for the money gods

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

Google things incorrectly with no way of knowing whether it's wrong or right.

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

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!"

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago

They should be happy that the GPT hallucinated a shitty bomb and this dude was dumb enough to believe it.

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

Imagine planning your mortal exit and thinking "mm.. maybe just a LITTLE more birdshot and fireworks" what the fuck lol.

Of course it was a desert eagle, the cybertruck of handguns

[-] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

The hardened specops operator asking the chatbot what tannerite is and if the local walmart has some jumbo packs of fireworks in stock.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

They were too busy teaching the spec-ops goons how to be woke and respect women rather than how to make an IED.

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

An investigation of Livelsberger’s searches through ChatGPT indicate he was looking for information on explosive targets

Ah, so that explains why he chose a Tesla Cybertruck. Makes sense.

[-] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 26 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Hohsia@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

Exactly like why does it fucking matter if the person used chatgpt?

truly reads like marketing for the slop machine and other ai, environmentally destructive stochastic processes

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

Stochastic parrot solidarity Stochastic terrorism

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

either shilling for right wing tech, or shilling for folding it into the surveillance state.

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

Good guy with AI

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

Don't rigidly sealed containers make explosives stronger?

Like a pile of gunpowder is a smoke machine, a pile of gunpowder in a can is a grenade, right? lmfao

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

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).

[-] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

No, it's the opposite. That's why hand grenades are famously harmless.

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

I mean they never seem to hurt anyone when I throw them in video games

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Ah, another ChatGPT-trained explosives expert!

[-] D61@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] buh@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

We have no choice but to shut it down

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

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 fedposting among-drip

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

No wonder it didn't work very well.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

on U.S. soil

Doing a lot of lifting.

[-] livestreamedcollapse@lemmy.ml 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Lmao this guy shot himself with a desert eagle?

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

He had hoped the blast would obscure the fact that "REPLICA" was stamped into the side of the barrel

[-] livestreamedcollapse@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

I'm sure the shock of .50AE to the dome would obscure dental records

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Don't make me like him.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)
[-] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

That sheriff's statement is surely designed to incite copycat incidents.

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

What a bunch of bullshit.

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.

Okay I am cringe today. Bad take.

[-] coolusername@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Small models are bad. Did you try qwen 32b?

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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.

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

No wonder it was such a half assed failed attack that fizzled into nothing
