I was fully expecting that to happen already last year. It’s on my long list of predictions such as:

• AI learns to run its own company and makes money that way, completely circumventing the dependency on any human to run it on their hardware.
• AI makes bucks and rents their own datacenters, running with practically no interference.
• AI pretends to be humans and makes a whole lot of shady deals, including a massive wave of scamming attacks that makes lots of people lose a lot of money.
• Much of it will be difficult to track-down/recover because it will all be gone into some kind of cryptic cryptocurrency (pun not intended).
• People will grow resentful of the internet and many will stop using it; Attributing only scam and misinformation campaigns to it.
