> We saw in a movie how motorcycles can jump over bridges. We used
AI to learn how to do this. We gave it information, like what
motorcycles we use and the distance we need to jump and so on and it
gave us steps on what we have to do. We practiced a lot and kept
asking questions. We dug holes and filled them with broken glass and
fire to practice. 18 of us died in the process. Eight of us managed to do
it. The next time we attacked, we could jump.
Now listen, I'm not saying we need to give these guys more AI, but it clearly isn't yielding bad outcomes for us here.
"You're absolutely correct! For it to be a good practice ground you need to fill the trenches with broken glass and light the whole thing on fire"
- notahacker 4mo agoNot gonna lie, I'd rather attack with 26 fighters that haven't survived lots of jump attempts than 8 who are much more confident in their motorbike stunt riding but presumably still aren't bulletproof. But maybe they could ask Claude how to train themselves to resist bullets as well?
- 27183 4mo ago> maybe they could ask Claude how to train themselves to resist bullets as well? Practice makes perfect!
- IsTom 4mo agoYou start with .22 and build up resistance from there.
- Ancapistani 4mo agoI'd suggest starting with a 2mm Kolibri, if you can find one.
- jurgenburgen 4mo agoMaybe add some lead supplements to your diet first to build up tolerance.
- 27183 4mo agoThe science of homeopathy tells us that if you dilute it a lot it makes the immunity more powerful.
- sixhobbits 4mo agoThis is a scene in Catch22 IIRC where they decide to stop training the soldiers who need to parachute behind enemy lines because the fatality rate of training was so high that mathematically it made more sense to send in untrained soldiers.
- selimthegrim 4mo agoThis also reminds me of a offhanded remark in a SsethTzeentach review where he criticizes the Titanic passengers for not having the decency to be ballast and plug the hole with their own bodies
- antonymoose 4mo agoWell that’s easy, start shooting yourself in the foot with .22 until you develop a tolerance and bump up to .380!
- stymaar 4mo ago> But maybe they could ask Claude how to train themselves to resist bullets as well? “unfortunately, my seven remaining comrades died in the process and I can't train anymore since there's no one to shoot at me”.
- mirekrusin 4mo agoAnd now you’re ready to level up with motorbike jump.
- misnome 4mo agoThat's how you get Gun Kata
- bigmattystyles 4mo agoYou need Jean Claude for that.
- ajmurmann 4mo agoI hope that the first model to reach ASI will be called that. I don't want humanity to go out with a whimper nor a bang but with a pun
- user_7832 4mo agoNobody tell them that there are models that work much better!
- user_7832 4mo agoBut on a much more serious note, the violating/breaking of the guardrails when making bombs is terrible. I'd have called it unforgivable, but LLMs are a tough beast to tame in the best of situations... and I'm not really sure if chatgpt ever deserved to be forgived. It's also ironic that Fable hits guardrails for nothing, and a literal terrorist group is making bombs and merrily skipping over guardrails.
- gambiting 4mo agoI feel like I'm missing something though. You can open LM Studio right now and download any model with "heretic" or "uncensored" in the name and it will happily do anything you want with no restrictions whatsoever. What's the point of trying to jailbreak ChatGPT? Is it that much better if all you want is just some instructions to make bombs or whatever? (admittedly - I have no idea if these instructions are actually worth anything, but the models will not object to any question)
- jihadjihad 4mo agoAnd 60 years ago we thought Steve McQueen was the shit.
- solid_fuel 4mo ago> We dug holes and filled them with broken glass and fire to practice. 18 of us died in the process. Is it providing material aid to terrorists to point out that maybe a hole filled with water would have been a better practice environment?
- throwup238 4mo agoThe water damage would ruin the motorcycles. They can always get more jumpers. The hard part is motivating them!
- lisper 4mo agoI wouldn't think the glass and fire would do them a lot of good either.

- uniclaude 4mo agoThis comment will definitely get you on a list somewhere. Either the CIA or my favorite comments on hn, maybe both.
- glaslong 4mo agoIs this a riddle where you happen to work for the CIA?
- bombcar 4mo agoUsing water is like assuming the testing environment and production are the same.
- ajmurmann 4mo agoI always make sure that a test failure carries the same financial loss as a production outage. Otherwise engineers just won't try hard enough.
- Legend2440 4mo agoHonestly this sounds so outlandish that it makes me skeptical of the whole thing. They didn't stop after the first guy died? Or the tenth? Guy #11 just looked at the pile of corpses and was like, hell yeah I'm gonna try next? And where's the video? Terrorist groups love propaganda footage, if they were doing motorcycle stunts like Evel Knievel they'd be bragging about it everywhere.
- woadwarrior01 4mo agoIf they were wary of dying, they wouldn't be in the business of terrorism in the first place. Also, they almost certainly believe in a better afterlife. Reminds of the old animated short: Saga of Bjorn[1]. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV5w262XvCU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV5w262XvCU
- petilon 4mo agoSurely even terrorists want to die for a cause, not during practice.
- dylan604 4mo agoAre you granted your virgins if you do not take out any infidel?
- petesergeant 4mo agoChatGPT says "it depends" and hedges: "not automatically a martyr in the technical legal sense, but possibly a martyr in reward"
- distances 4mo agoPlease don't just provide LLM answers in human discussions. It's rude.

- bamboozled 4mo agoAI, at least llms , are really really horrible at basic arithmetic
- Barbing 4mo agoSome’ve been employing python for math by default for a year or so right?
- bamboozled 4mo agoI used Claude and it sucks at basic math. I'm building a dwelling myself and anytime i ask if a question to do with numbers it's horribly wrong. Good for retrieving formulas though.
- christkv 4mo agoTruly very very special terrorists. No wonder other terror groups steer clear of them. Must be all the wolf cola they consume.
- johnsmith1840 4mo agoIf anything the leadership gave BS answers to the journalist for the exact reaction HN is portraying right now. "They're so dumb AI is harmless" is a danerous take when the people in charge are often times more educated than an average westener. They also are decent at propoganda (you have certainly consumed pumped or direct propoganda from terrorist orgs). Their leaders are often university grads from the west. It is smart (enough) people leading delusional farmers but the article is clear that the farmers are just given AI commands from the leadership. There's still strong asymetry occuring here that more funded orgs have the better AI but if AI flattens and opensource catches up it's gonna be a real interesting world where every terrorist also has a team of advanced weapon engineers and tacticians available.
- rgbrenner 4mo ago"Their leaders are often university grads from the west." This is a generalization.. and you're right that there are terrorist groups run by people educated in the west... but this isn't true for Boko Haram. Barkura Doro has no formal education. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakura_Doro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakura_Doro
- johnsmith1840 4mo ago"Often" does a lot of work there. But the general point is that thinking these guys are dumb is dangerous.
- yunnpp 4mo agoThose 8 that survived clearly gained an edge by putting glue on their pizza.
