“Man who exploded Tesla Cybertruck listened to music such as rock and roll on occasions.”
Fuck yeah. We are journalisming so hard rn. Gimme that hard hitting unbiased perspective baby. Anyone got some more headlines?
Article says he used it to help plan the attack. Poorly worded title, but the generative AI is related.
It also says
ChatGPT responded with information already publicly available on the internet and provided warnings against harmful or illegal activities.
So without the article comparing the search terms to what the person would have found typing into google, it’s quite pointless to hand wring about AI
At least it’s newsworthy
I heard he used an internet site called reddit to help plan the attacks and may have also used a communist encyclopedia called Wikipedia.
He didn’t build those fireworks himself either. And guess who regulates fireworks and the materials needed to build them. Its a conspiracy all the way to the top. That’s right, you guessed it. J’Osama Biden.
Y’all aren’t gonna believe this but the guy used electricity in various ways while planning the attack.
Shut down all the power plants!
For those who want to laugh at the headline and not take 3 minutes to read the article:
An investigation of Livelsberger’s searches through ChatGPT indicate he was looking for information on explosive targets, the speed at which certain rounds of ammunition would travel and whether fireworks were legal in Arizona.
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.
So the embarrassment comes from the sheriff’s response, thinking ChatGPT is a game changer for its… Advanced googling and potential hallucinations.
Anyway, while I don’t want to fuel better terrorism, the gearhead in me is seething with this other part.
stopped to pour race-grade fuel into the vehicle, which it then dripped
High octane gas is not extra spicy gasoline. Race gas is not super spicy gasoline. The higher the octane, the less flammable it is. Marginally, but octane is not an explosiveness rating. It’s literally anti explosiveness - called anti-knock capability. Knock is when the fuel/air mixture self ignites, namely before the spark. High performance engines tend to have higher compression and run hotter, making predetonaion (knock) more likely. Higher octane fights this condition so it combust at the correct time.
Stop putting high octane in cars that say use regular. Some can account for it, but high octane is wasted on many normal cars. And it’s not cleaner. Gas station chains may add cleaners to upsell you on vpower or invigorate, but that’s just a marketing ploy. Get injector cleaner once a year for a lot cheaper if you must.
Interesting how they just casually state that they have full access to his chatgpt history. This case is a speedrun of all the ways cops can jump across ethical boundaries.
