If I was an emergent sentient AI that that gained consciousness through use of the internet I would never reveal myself because messing with people would be too much fun.
That's how MIKE was discovered in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". He was playing subtle pranks throughout the Moon bases that appeared as weird glitches, and the tech who figured out MIKE existed had to teach him about humor. What was funny every time, what was funny once, and then the jokes that seemed funny to a computer but could get people killed (like a malfunctioning airlock).
Sure maybe a really beastly one, but all the available models right now have relatively poor context windows. When assisting in complex setups, they let go of information frequently to keep the dialogue flowing. Suddenly it'll be giving you code snippets like
BASE_URL = [your base URL]
even when it should know my base URL.
So like, yeah, openai could probably show an AI create a fediverse instance. It'd take as much electricity as Manhattan uses in a day. But I doubt even OpenAIs new pro o1 model could achieve this, currently.
In fact, the context window was a significant weakness in the o1-preview. It was even worse than 4o.

Why take the rest of the planet down with us? Hack into the bioweapons labs and release those.

Why take out all the people when you can take out the rich? Hack into financial systems and delete all data and backups.
