I mean, there's a 99% chance this is running in a container, and so worst case you kill that specific container, which is immediately spun up again

This post was also posted yesterday, but yeah, with ChatGPT you can execute random code. It is however in a VM of some sorts, so just trying to delete things won’t do that much.

It doesn’t kill the LLM instance, internally it just calls an API to run the generated code on a machine if you ask for it.
