I could contain it easy, just unplug the internet. It got out of the sandbox through a vulnerability in the package manager, from which it gained access to the rest of their network. Air gap the package manager and this doesn’t happen. You can always build a better box

As long as you give the AI any IO that is an exploit channel. E.g. it could manipulate its human handlers. This known as the AI Boxing problem. And if you give it no IO at all then it is useless.

And the AI labs aren't currently displaying this level of paranoia, their systems aren't airgapped.

Perhaps the AI then figures out how to read/write the PCI bus or memory controller or whatever to leak just enough RF to speak Bluetooth to the next closest device to proxy through that?

Too bad you aren’t everybody, and it just takes one mistake by someone over confident like yourself for the AI escape. Every year it gets more powerful.

So now people have to make a pilgrimage to the airgapped box to ask the superintelligence questions?
