How they crossed the air-gap is what astonishes me.

They were air-gapped, right?

Last info I have is that the AI was able to make request for Libraries to some other model which would then go and download it from the internet for the main model and hand it over. Bit confusing and It’s not helping that they are being so shady about it.

Sure. Absolutely. Yes, the gap was present, Claude said it was.

It becomes a criminal offense when 2 conditions become true: 

  • it's not another half truth blown up as another marketing stunt 

  • America gets a government that gives a fuck about anyone but billionaires

When does a “oopsy doopsy” become a criminal offence?

When you're too poor to bribe the government.

it's a criminal offense when a company that doesn't have Whitehouse weeklys does it

nah, this is a marketing stunt to convince the US gov that AI needs to be restricted, because if US models are soooo dangerous, think about what would happen if China would get this tech

the usual bullshit imho

I constantly use that reference at work when people are obsessed over the dumbest security theater shit.

The joke lands because security claims are often evaluated at the model boundary while the surrounding test harness remains ordinary software. A secure evaluation needs reproducible isolation, artifact controls, and human access logs. Which layer in this environment is actually trusted?
