You’ll need a lot more detail about how the actual escaped model works, what it controls, how sophisticated it is about incorporating (or taking over companies) and how much money it has access to.
AWS admins will listen very hard to “something is using a bunch of your resources and won’t pay”. They’ll pay less attention to “a paying customer is running stuff we consider to be an escaped AI”.
If it’s truly autonomous to the level it can navigate all this, then it’s definitely beyond the point of no return. But I think it’s not a good canary or threat to concentrate on, because it’s so far PAST the point of return that by the time this is hard to stop, it’ll be too late.
AWS probably wouldn’t do anything, assuming a human has signed their name to the account, there might be policy against doing anything. But if you called the NSA/cybercom instead, they probably would do something given that they’ve been dealing with botnets and foreign hackers for decades.
Again, it depends a whole lot on the details. NSA or the like probably already know, but both AWS and the NSA will act if the account is committing crimes or actually doing something wrong, and both probably don’t do much if it’s “just” a rogue copyright violation that no human is running.
Also, the details about how you know this is happening, and nobody else can see any evidence of it, matter a whole lot to how the scenario plays out.
