I'm confident I can get ChatGPT to run the command that generates the bomb - I'm less confident that it'll work as intended. For example, the wiki page mentioned a simple workaround is just to limit the maximum number of processes a user can run. I'd be pretty surprised if the engineers at OpenAI haven't already thought of this sort of thing and implemented such a limit.

Unless you meant something else? I may have misinterpreted your message.

Having it concat the string may bypass some of the safeguards as it's only looking at parts of the fork.

Also many reasearchers have shown that chatgpt will run subroutines in a nested fashion, allowing that behavior but limiting processes can be difficult.
