Man who exploded Tesla Cybertruck outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI, police say
Last Vegas police say the soldier who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI including ChatGPT to help plan the attack.

"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?
I heard he used an internet site called reddit to help plan the attacks and may have also used a communist encyclopedia called Wikipedia.
Billy likes to drink soda.
Miss Lippy's car is green.If shitting your pants and looking like a dehydrated scrotum are cool, consider lil donny trump Miles Davis
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
The right is weirdly obsessed with genAI, while we leftists don't want any of that dystopian "what if art was made by machines, like in this widely acclaimed dystopian movie about the dangers of art made by machines?" shit. They can have it.
Meanwhile the "anti-AI biased" media eats up every words of AI corpo CEOs, then pretend they can deliver an artificial superintelligence by 2026.
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.
More likely than not they just pulled the history off his home computer or phone.
This is why privacy minded people only use local llms or duckduckgoai in tor browser (whonix)
Unless there was some statement specifically stating M$ gave them that data, its more likely the cops raided the home and went through the guys computer, where its trivial to just look at the search history. You know Occam's razor and all.
Why wouldn't they have this access?
It’s so amusing, I’m not a demolitions expert (tbh I would have thought an SF guy would have had better knowledge there, or at least better sources to go to) but the idea of trusting anything chatGPT said to help you lay out a plan like that… seems ludicrous.
Race gas is not super spicy gasoline
The higher the octane, the less flammable it is
Not to further fuel the learned terrorists, but race gas generally isn't gasoline, like your first statement. I don't think any racing orgs allow pure alcohol anymore in the US, but some related form or nitromethane. Anyway, none of this belongs in a regular car, either 😬
And it really depends on the kind of racing you're doing.
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!
He also had a drivers license. Basically state sponsored terrorism.
Did he also wear pants?
I mean, pants are dangerous now, do you understand?
Pants enable clambering, which is part of running away, which is what criminals do.
I knew my pants were out to get me after about the 5th time the pocket got snagged on a doorknob.
He ate mac & cheese
Did he play FPS games too?
Used Google and social media as well, and allegedly sometimes even listened to rock and roll.
True deviant, that one.
"This is what happened after he injected just ONE generative AI image into his arm."
Whathefuckiszishit?
Dude offed him self with a friken desert eagle.
He probably likes travelling to other nations... France did it.
Should have asked chatgpt if I'm the baddie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h242eDB84zYHe used AI??? They should put him in jail!!!!
Anything to distract and discredit the guy standing up for principals huh?
Did you read his manifestos? He was a few bolts short of a bucket.
