    dangerous information

    What’s that?

    and offer criminal advice, such as a recipe for napalm

    Napalm recipe is forbidden by law? Don’t call stuff criminal at random.

    Am i the only one worried about freedom of information?

        I had it. I printed it out on a dot matrix printer. Took hours, and my dad found it while it was half way. He got angry, pulled the cord and burned all of the paper

      Better not look it up on wikipedia. That place has all sorts of things from black powder to nitroglycerin too. Who knows, you could become a chemist if you read too much wikipedia.

        oh no, you shouldn’t know that. back to your favorite consumption of influencers, and please also vote for parties that open up your browsing history to a selection of network companies 😳

      Info hazards are going to be more common place with this kind of technology. At the core of the problem is the ease of access of dangerous information. For example a lot of chat bots will confidently get things wrong. Combine that easy directions to make something like napalm or meth then we get dangerous things that could be incorrectly made. (Granted napalm or meth isn’t that hard to make)

      As to what makes it dangerous information, it’s unearned. A chemistry student can make drugs, bombs, etc. but they learn/earn that information (and ideally the discipline) to use it. Kind of like in the US we are having more and more mass shootings due to ease of access of firearms. Restrictions on information or firearms aren’t going to solve the problems that cause them but it does make it (a little) harder.

      At least that’s my understanding of it.

        I don’t exactly agree with the “earned” part but guess you have a point with the missing ‘how to safely handle’.

          By earned I mean it takes some efforts to gain that knowledge. For example some kind of training, studying, practice, etc. it’s typically during that process you learn how to safely and correctly do things

        Anyone who wants to make even slightly complex organic compounds will also need to study five different types of isomerism and how they determine major / minor product. That should be enough of a deterrent.

        Fill a supersoaker with it and turn a fun day at the Waterpark in a fun human barbecue.

            Napalm needs oxygen to burn, so if you keep up a steady stream it shouldn’t burn back into the super soaker. The key word being shouldn’t not won’t.
