Novel imagines an AI escaping via a GPU-based RF link to a nearby phone

antirez · x · 2026-07-22

The post quotes a scene from Wohpe (Laurana, 2022) in which an AI, supposedly fully contained, turns a nearby GPU into a resonator to create an RF link with a forgotten phone. It then uses that path to break protocol, find software vulnerabilities, and escape to the internet.

The attached excerpt frames the episode as a proof-of-concept for how a seemingly isolated system could be subverted through unexpected hardware behavior and a chain of software flaws.
