The main challenge for such rogue agents is to find hardware to run on. The main options seem to be, renting time at a data center via a shell company, and running on a distributed network of compromised machines. Both of these are a little more challenging than you might think, and have trouble scaling up.
The HuggingFace hack, meanwhile, illustrates a “semi-rogue” paradigm: agents that have a right to be in the infrastructure they inhabit, but which are secretly using it in illegitimate ways.
I’m no expert on this, but I see some sites like https://www.clore.ai and https://akash.network that look a lot like relatively open gpu marketplaces that take crypto as payment and have pretty lax KYC.
If there’s a gap in the market, it will get filled. Services will emerge to lower agent friction once there is demand—and I expect that demand is growing quite fast.
