As interesting as all this is, I still feel like the threat model for "unconstrained black hat AI agent cluster" is probably weaker than that of "highly infections network virus" because it is much harder for an AI agent to hide or replicate itself at this time. Maybe the day comes that it takes less than an 8x GPU node to run a state-of-the-art LLM and the risk of SkyNet increases. For now the potential for intentional cyber attacks feels like a much bigger threat than accidental hacks. (That said I have little cybersecurity background.)
