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.
