These Were NOT Rogue AI Escapes. Just SLOPPY Firewall Failures. [N]

Excerpt

The headlines right now are full of stories about AI models "escaping their sandboxes" and literally killing all humans, lol. I've even heard several commentators and writers say that AI escaped an "Air gap". But that is SO WRONG. It's actually TOTALLY WRONG. *To be clear, not a single one of these sandboxes was actually air-gapped.* That's a crucial computer science fact. An air gapped sandbox would require *ZERO* cables and network interfaces. It would also require absolute physical isolation.
