The highly decorated soldier who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative artificial intelligence 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 reportedly shot himself just before the truck blew up.
However, online theories have emerged suggesting that Livelsberger may have been a whistleblower ready to expose either U.S. military operations in the Middle East or else a cover-up of its secretive drone test flights.
Those theories rest on the possibility that he was shot sometime prior to the rented Cybertruck’s suicide mission and that its self-driving feature may have been deployed to pilot the vehicle to its destination.
His familiarity with the cutting-edge AI technology will likely bolster skepticism among those who argue that elements of the story do not logically compute.
Among those are the fact that the Trump-supporting Green Beret would have targeted the president-elect’s hotel and that identifying documents including his passport happened to survive the conflagration that charred the body inside beyond recognition.
Military experts further maintain that Livelsberger’s training would have given him the know-how to execute a much more deadly and sophisticated attack.
The explosion caused minor injuries to seven people but virtually no damage to the Trump International Hotel.
Authorities maintain that Livelsberger acted alone.
The new developments also follow suspicions that the Vegas attack may have been linked with an early-morning terror attack in New Orleans due to what investigators insist were a series of remarkable coincidences…
