Seeing so many comments recently about "you can't sandbox really good AI". This is ridiculous. Has nobody heard of air gapped networks? It's almost like the AI psychosis has reached the point that AGI now means "able to transcend physical space". No. If your AI is too dangerous and capable to be allowed to talk to other machines, then do not connect it to other machines. Load the data it needs to process onto physical disks, and let it run there.

The movie Wargames is basically a tutorial on how not to setup an extremely capable AI. None of it would've happened if the computer wasn't connected to the phone network.
