The highly decorated soldier who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI including ChatGPT to help plan the attack, Las Vegas police said Tuesday.
A laptop, cellphone and watch are still under review nearly a week after 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger fatally shot himself just before the truck blew up.
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.

“the use of generative AI a ‘game-changer’”
Oh, come on! He would have found all that info with simple Google searches, no “generative AI” needed.
Maybe in the future we can instruct autonomous kill bots to make fully automated, unmanned terrorist attacks. But not in 2025.
Sure did. Sounds like another weak excuse to have more surveillance on Americans.
If that’s the government’s position then that’s not what happened.
Obviously.
ChatGPT makes so many factual errors that I wouldn’t trust it for anything. I’ve only used the website, but it gets even simple things wrong.
I guess that 2nd video from a different angle showing his head upright, intact, and moving before the explosion doesn’t factor.
I will admit that I fell for this whole thing.
It did seem a little odd that we knew so much about him and I have always had an “off” feeling about Shawn Ryan but this story seemed legit to me.
Now that they are using this situation to scare us about the boogey man of AI, I am fully out.
This is a psyop- 100%
Have they identified the body yet? The Whitewash Bureau is working overtime this New Year.
Who is Shawn Ryan?
the cyber truck also uses ai technology...
That’s the guy who said Livelsberger sent him an email saying the NJ drones were CHICOM antigravity powered wonder weapons, and he’d be killed for exposing them.
Anyone who use the phrase Game Changer has outed him/herself as being on the payroll of either Russia or some OpenAI wannabe.
It’s as annoying as verbing and upspeaking.
Dunno, the year is young...
Not just AI but generative AI
Oh NO!!!
Lets ban computers !!!!!!!
“It’s as annoying as verbing and upspeaking”
Sustainable! Ugh!
Resilient!! Double Ugh!!
I thought it was Sammy something who was a guest on Shawn Ryan’s show?
Pretty lame, IMHO. If he'd Goggled up "how to get rid of a body," then that'd be different.
The entire point of what he’s saying.
AI providers have the ability to program “guardrails” into generative AI to prevent inquiries into how to perform illegal activity.
