Just imagine all the exploits they'll find and abuse.

OpenAI has already done some experiments here [0]. All the way down at the bottom, under the "surprising behaviors" heading, 3 of the 4 examples involve the AIs finding bugs in the simulation and using it to their advantage. The 4th isn't a bug exactly, but a (missing) edge case in their behavior not initially anticipated.
