I mean any half decent coding LLM can literally do

``` from transformers import SomeLLM

model = SomeLLM.from_pretrained(“…”) ```

The hard part will be provisioning the GPUs and actual orchestration at scale to do any kind of actual damage

This test had to run shell commands to literally copy its code and run itself in a separate process.

Although I agree they need to replicate themselves on a different machine. But these are also just shell commands, all it needs access to is a cloud cli/api tool with an active payment method and it can do the same replication
