    Someone with enough know-how to automate (or if we coordinate), could overwhelm ai chat bots one target at a time with the most expensive requests possible, blowing up their ai budget until they pull the plug

      Try feeding them nonhalting problems that send them into infinite loops of token consumption.

        I like the idea but most chatbots have timeout limits. And even agentic workflows have number of step limits to stop infinite loops.

        However this is because it’s super easy for LLMs to get stuck in loops. You don’t even need a nonhalting problem. They’re stupid enough on their own.
