Building A Virtual Machine inside ChatGPT

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard of this new ChatGPT assistant made by OpenAI. Did you know, that you can run a whole virtual machine inside of ChatGPT?

@Riedl @khinsen @arjen

I could try it this morning. I made some experiments that gave really strange results.

For instance, after I tried :
echo -e "#!/bin/bash\ndd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" > /test.sh

which would erase the main disk. After I ran the script, the AI was giving me an error on each command or question. I refreshed the page, and the whole server was saying that an unexpected error occurred ​

So I'm not sure it hallucinates these outputs, it looks like we can actually access the VM?

@HgO @khinsen @arjen I cannot duplicate this. But I also get permission denied, but that might just be gpt hallucinating a common response?
