tabun

Iraq also produced 3,080 tons of mustard gas, 250 tons of tabun, and 812 tons of sarin.

It even says in the history for Tabun on Wikipedia [0] that it was initially meant to be an insecticide.

Other German firms sent 1,027 tons of precursors of mustard gas, sarin, tabun, and tear gasses in all.

Precursors for sarin, tabun, and G-series agents are sources of fluorine, usually bifluorides.

The original nerve agent, tabun, contains no fluorine at all for example.

This work allowed Iraq to produce 150 tons of mustard agent and 60 tons of Tabun in 1983 and 1984 respectively, continuing throughout the decade.

Germany did use nerve gases tabun, sarin, and soman [1].

For example Hitler ordered that tabun production be continued as the highest priority even though the precursor chemicals were in high demand and very short supply.

The unhinged man who rage-kills his ex-wife and some of her coworkers with a gun today could, in the future, ask the makerbot for kilograms of RDX or tabun instead of a gun.

At the same time, Nazi Germany had also developed a massive chemical weapons program based on the novel nerve agents, sarin and tabun (developed as organophosphorus pesticide agents but found to be far too toxic for use on crops), at the same time.

> There are several human fossils from the caves of Qesem, Zuttiyeh and Tabun that date back to that time that we could not attribute to any specific known group of humans.

I am not exactly a great example ( exposure to work model, ollama, local models play ) and I actually liked gemini upon try in google search ( which is amusingly now banned at work ), but the nice quickly fell into not nice, when it started giving me weird pushback on operation paperclip book ( I am assuming chapter discussing tabun triggered something.

AI "safety" is about making it so that a journalist can't get out a recipe for Tabun just by asking.

In 1980 Iraq attacked Iran and employed mustard gas and tabun with 5% of all Iranian casualties directly attributable to the use of these agents" from Handbook of Toxicology of Chemical Warfare Agents by Ramesh C.

"ask the makerbot for kilograms of RDX or tabun instead of a gun" I know the NSA and IoT get a lot of criticism here.

Maybe the antithesis to the discovery of antibiotics is the mostly accidental discovery of Tabun: "In January 1937, Schrader observed the effects of nerve agents on human beings first-hand when a drop of tabun spilled onto a lab bench." (Wikipedia) I think that one might stand out somewhat since I'd expect most accidental advances to be helpful to humanity.
