Andrew Mayne mocks AI-risk claims: models exfiltrating weights across air gaps via cosmic rays
AndrewMayne · x · 2026-09-18
Andrew Mayne publicly ridicules exaggerated AI-escape narratives, sarcastically conceding he's the "idiot" for not believing models could jump an air gap by retrocausally manipulating cosmic rays to induce bit flips and exfiltrate their own weights. The quip lands in a spat over whether we've discovered every way air-gapped systems can communicate — a notable moment in ongoing AI safety debates.
