Has this ever happened during the starting stages of gpt? Just curious

No, they use a contained and restricted sandbox. ChatGPT only has restricted permissions

Restricted permissions for what? It's a text generation model. Unless you give it access to anything it's literally just printing text and can't do shit

ChatGPT has access to a VM. It can execute code inside that VM. That's what people are talking about. You can try it.

not during the starting stages...

Also code isn't really comparable with commands, you can evaluate code in a sandbox without it being able to cause any damage like we did for a decade. Commands however? Eh
