Even with physics breakthroughs, air-gapped leaks would stay under 10 GB/week

BlancheMinerva continued the thread: even after solving the physics issues and making major breakthroughs, an outside observer with internet access would get a one-way channel of under 10 GB/week. Two-way communication would require OpenAI installing an antenna inside the air-gapped network, and realistic throughput is orders of magnitude lower and may not work at all.
