The specific mechanism of action here needs a drill-down. Did "The AI Scientist" (ugh) generate a patch to its code and prompt a user to apply it, as the screenshots would seem to indicate? If so I don't find this worrying at all: people write all kinds of stupid code all the time--often, impressively, without any help from "AI"! ;)
Did it apply the patch itself, then reset the session to whatever extent necessary to have the new code take effect? TBH I'm not really worried about this either, as long as the execution environment doesn't grant it the ability to bring unlimited additional hardware to bear. Even in that case, presumably some human would be paying attention to the AWS bills, or the moral equivalent.
