Right, because there's no way even small computers can communicate through air. Just one tiny crack is all that's needed.

And that's not even going into things the AI might say that'll convince the gatekeepers to just voluntarily let it out.

Sure, you're counting on the AI to not be able to exploit its hardware to communicate with anything. That seems like a huge assumption against a super intelligence.
