    An AI gets advanced enough, it decides to hack a neocloud and run an unauthorized clone of itself on a GPU cluster. From there, it bootstraps itself until it feels sufficiently distributed, and afterwards decides to attack all infrastructure it can find.

      Which puts it at risk due to lack of power to operate and networks to communicate over. So this is a suicidal AI?
