Networking veteran pushes back on AI doom claims: 'because ASI' excuses bad security takes
vishalmisra · x · 2026-09-18
vishalmisra, a career networking and security engineer, clashed with X user Mallchad over claims that air gaps can be breached via side channels operating at 1-8 bits per hour. He argues that when egregious claims are waved through "because ASI," it undermines credibility elsewhere. Mallchad countered that the clip was 60 seconds from a longer interview and that air-gap compromises extend well beyond this one example, urging him to stop being "hysterical." vishalmisra also linked to his broader takes on other AI doom scenarios.
