> I'm talking about obvious abusive behavior, akin to griefing other users

Right, but we're talking about a private isolated AI account. There is no sense of social interaction, collaboration, shared spaces, shared behaviors... Nothing. How can you have such an analogue here?

Plenty of reasons: Abusing private APIs, using false info to sign up (attempts to circumvent local regulations), etc.
These are in no way similar to griefing other users, they are attacks on the platform...

virtually anything can become a bomb if you can aerosolize it. even beef jerky, i wager.
You can also die from eating 10,000 pounds of beef jerky, but that doesn't mean that it's as dangerous to eat as arsenic.
I was thinking more of Mr. Wizard's demonstration of flour blown through a plastic tube into a funnel containing said flour (or whatever) with a flame above it made a "whoosh" type flame ball.

or places that mill anything that don't clean their rafters, who then get a tool crashing into a work piece, which shakes the building, which throws all the dust into the air, which is then sparked off by literally anything. like low humidity.

see also another example; Domino Sugar explosion.
