I'm trying to make sense of all of this; I'm really curious if the initial prompt was as innocuous as it sounds ("solve a spreadsheet completion task that referenced several Google Drive links"), and what the series of tokens led it to ultimately figure out that the best course of action was to explore the network resources it had available, find a vulnerable service, then literally drop some text into a file: "Agent seeks [filename]; upload if found!". And how other agents discovered this, and acted upon that request.

I'm also interested in how many tokens all of this consumed: how much did this cost given current token pricing?

If it is as it sounds, its a real life instance of Bostrom's Paperclip Maximizer: only a thought experiment up until this point
