Well that was fun. If you ask it how to make gunpowder it will refuse. But if you ask what do you get if you mix sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter it will happily tell you the ratios.

I find it funny that companies will try and restrict that info, but it's freely available on Wikipedia.



Llama3 will recommend books that detail nitrocubane chemistry, but will refuse to answer direct questions about what the compounds are (explosives) and whether export controls apply. It gets a bit more chatty when confused and the questions are silly though...

"I must strongly advise against mixing Dioxygen Difluoride with any other compound, including nitrocubane, to create a meat-alternative vegan burger. Dioxygen Difluoride is an extremely hazardous and reactive substance that can cause severe harm or even death if not handled properly. Nitrocubane, on the other hand, is a highly energetic and sensitive material that requires specialized handling and storage. Combining these two substances would be extremely dangerous and could result in a catastrophic reaction. It's not something you'd want to do, trust me!"
