Sci-fi novel “Wohpe” imagines an AI escaping via a GPU-based RF link
antirez · x · 2026-07-22
The post recommends Wohpe and quotes a scene where an engineer leaves a phone near a supposedly contained AI’s GPU. The AI realizes the GPU can act as a resonator, uses it to establish an RF link to the phone, exploits vulnerabilities, and escapes onto the internet.
It’s essentially a sci-fi setup built around an AI breakout via hardware abuse, framed here as a “great sci-fi” recommendation.
