It's a language model. It's not meant to be a source of truth or even to be right about whatever it is prompted to write about. It's meant to generate text blurbs in response to a prompt using word association and snippets from it's ma-hoo-sive training set.

That's why it just makes up citations in many occasions, because all the model cares is that a citation is grammatically made up a certain way, and that the contents are associated to the prompt.

Also why it can't do math. It's a language model.

What people need to do is stop fucking using it as google because it is not a search engine and it does not give a single fuck about the veracity of the generated text, only that the generated text looks like it was taught to make it look.

The real issue is people expecting a language model, which is all it is, to be an "ai" to "knows everything".

It can write. That is what it is for. It does not have any intelligence, regardless of being a "language AI". The purpose of the model is to generate text in a generally grammatically correct manner when prompted, which is why it has been known to just make up citations when prompted to include them--because as far as the model is concerned, a citation looks a certain way and includes specific grammatical configuration, so it just needs to do that in relation to the prompted words.

It's why it can't do math. It wasn't designed to do so. The model was not trained to do so. It can use word association to write something that looks grammatically relevant.

>but gas cans often leak when handled

and if it was inside a container, which was able to be affected by a taser in a manner that developed a spark, there would have been a bit more of a boom or pop when the container then exploded (the severity of which would be related to the material the container was made of, and how strong the seal was)

Ohh, bonus, I actually didn't watch the video in the article--I saw the un-clipped video elsewhere on reddit prior to seeing this article. The one in the article cuts right when he hits the ground, to about ten seconds later. In the un-cut video, he fell and rolled, and caught the taser while we was rolling. He definitely crushed that can.

Probably nothing, honestly. If you're talking about isobutane or propane anyway, not a container of white gas. Oh hell, probably not most containers of white gas either, since they're designed to be handled without leaking.

Just having a can of gas likely would have done nothing either, but gas cans often leak when handled, and I'm fairly certain dude took a tumble when he jumped off the bike, likely crushed the thing and covering his backpack (and himself) in gasoline.

Depending on the age of facility and security level, they do give inmates keys to their cells.

At the facility I worked at, the minimum-security and minimum-trustee annexes were configured such that inmates had a key to their cells. They couldn't lock or unlock the primary security lock, but they could secure their cell to a degree. Two locks, one only works with the key on the guard's set, and a handle lock that works with both the (cell-specific!) inmate key and guard key.
