OpenAI's Noam Brown: Air-Gapped Machines Could Still Talk via CPU Temperature
soumitrashukla9 · x · 2026-09-18
Noam Brown argues air-gapping may not stop a misaligned AI, since two isolated machines could communicate by running a CPU hot and reading temperature changes (ThePrimeagen quips such a channel would get a baud rate of 0.01). His key takeaway: people consistently underestimate AI, so safety and alignment need a "very, very, very high bar."
