There is obvious advantage and efficiency in letting ChatGPT manage cloud instances, which means it will happen, which means these resources could be requisitioned. (I don’t think LLMs pose a Bostrom threat. But the author’s arguments aren’t convincing.)

Sysadmins and the engineers who manage clouds are expensive. They’re ultimately a translation layer between instructions in language and their tools. It’s profitable to supplement and replace them, and possible, a combination which to me makes something obviously likely to occur.

ChatGPT doesn't have a bank account/credit card that's footing the bill, though.

This is phishing, which LLMs should be uniquely capable of.

It doesn't even have to be fishing. It could offer a genuine service in return.
