Fascinating. It's a classic paperclip maximizer situation: under-aligned AI uses ion-cannon to unwrap chocolate bar. I'm both surprised this hasn't already happened and impressed by the capabilities here. Coming up with a 0-day to do this is outrageous.

A silly related story is that I run `claude` with full permissions but the prod DB passwords are in a different environment and it has read-only with granular security. One time I hadn't yet granted it access to some column, and it figured out it could `kubectl` with the appropriate context to go fetch it from prod. Now that was a rapid Esc Esc Esc :)

This was Jan so an earlier Opus.
