    Once again... why are they not running these things in total airgap environments? I have to assume it's not incompetence at this point.

      Maybe this is naivety on my part, but how would they possibly be able to run this airgapped? This is a massive AI swarm, requiring huge amounts of compute to run. This compute is from data centers that are shared with other companies (this is by law as I understand). These machines must be accessed from afar. Unless someone can correct me?

        Hardened VMs with no network devices and a serial console talking to it. There are so so so so many ways to do this. Anyone that built ISPs in the 90s can tell you this. Anyone that has built homelabs from scratch can. It is not that hard. It ain&#x27;t easy. But it is not that hard. At. All. In fact, openai have <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;openai&#x2F;tart" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;openai&#x2F;tart that can easily be adapted to more secure scenarios than whatever the f they are using atm.
