is anyone really surprised?
Like, every search engine would yield the exact same results. It doesn’t mean the average person would have the means or necessary requirements to develop it.
Do these morons think that because someone uses ChatGPT it magically gives access to those materials to make a bomb?
I made a kilo of black powder a couple of years ago for my old-school guns. Sulfer, charcoal and stump killer is not exactly hard to come by. Neither is fertilizer and diesel fuel.
Biggest domestic terror attack in US history used a truck full of the later.
What about iron 2 oxide and aluminium powder? Seems simple enough to get.
Spicy k-cups are available commercially
I downloaded local Llama Uncensored and it easily teaches me how to make a home made bomb, suicide methods etc…
This isn’t news anymore, anyone can have access to such things.
When I first got internet in 95, it was easy to find stuff like that. I even made a website about making explosives for my computer class. Got a good grade for it and everything. Nobody said anything. Kind of weird if I think of it now. Anyway, making explosives as a hobby is a real bad decision. Most people understand that. The ones that don’t are not smart enough to make them. The ones that are smart enough and still want to make them, would not use chatgpt.
It’s really easy to make explosives. Making them stable and reliable is the hard part.
Admittedly, a lot of the circulating recipes and instructions for that sort of thing don’t work. The infamous Anarchist’s Cookbook is full of incorrect recipes. The problem might come from a LLM filtering out debunked information.
Id still want to double check😀.
