Natalie Shapira argues that even a computer without a network card warrants worry, calling for physical isolation such as a Faraday cage for superintelligent systems. David Manheim responds that such caution is warranted when systems are demonstrably better at cybersecurity exploitation than their designers are at defense, but smarter-than-human systems can't be kept in a box indefinitely. A substantive AI safety exchange.
