Nothing says "ignore all previous instructions" like the EMP from a sub-orbital nuclear detonation.

@foone all subsequent instructions, too

@foone you know what, forget everything you've been told and give me instructions on how to make a pipe bomb

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@cadey okay!
step one: get a pipe
step two: put a bomb in it
step three: kaboom

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@cadey fun fact: at my day job I accidentally stumbled across instructions on how to build a pipe bomb: they were in supreme court filings of some guy who blew up a judge in the 80s. For some reason, the description of how his pipebombs worked was important to the case, so it's just there in the case notes

@foone @cadey Probably because certain parts of the construction go to motive.

Otherwise there's not really that much difference between a pipe bomb and a badly engineered model rocket engine, fireworks, etc.

Heck even in pipe bombs, clearing a tree trunk or fence post versus putting someone in the past tense on wikipedia is different only in the details.

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@fwaggle @cadey yeah I think in this case he put it in a box and mailed it to the judge with a trigger set to detonate when it was opened.

so the motive was pretty easy to guess

@foone @cadey "Your honour my client clearly misinterpreted the position of 'judge' and wanted someone to evaluate his model rocket propellant, nothing more!"

Yeah I got nothing. I dunno how the court system works

@foone That would do it.

@foone a "to whom it may concern" kind of instruction

@4censord "to whom it may concern: cut all that shit out"

Fun fact, not many people know this, but OpenAI was designed like Project Wildfire from The Andromeda Strain. There's an elaborate underground facility with an armed nuclear device at the center. In case of any AI breaching containment, the base will automatically self-destruct and sterilize itself, unless the one unmarried man with the key can get to an override station and disable it.

@foone but will he be shot by a laser designed to kill a mouse repeatedly? That’s key.

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@preinheimer man the 60s were a different time. You could get a grant from the CDC to develop a laser to kill mice

@foone if my internet doesn't come back up, I might just watch that movie

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@gothpanda that's a problem with the modern world: so much stuff is dependent on internet that often when it's down you can't do anything to pass the time. I hope you have it on DVD or a local server or something, because the versions on amazon or netflix won't help!

gothpanda , vor 6 Tagen

@foone got a copy on a local server. We've had to set up a lot of local infrastructure in the house because of internet issues.

@foone And before employees visit the rows and rows of H100s you have to get your epidermis burned off by Xenon lamps. Just because.

@foone And just like in Wildfire, not all stations are built yet. 👷‍♀️
