Right, airgapping goes a long way. But this is where the tension with utility comes in. It takes a lot of discipline not to hook your very smart model up to the internet and code interpreters and all sorts of other tools, as this greatly increases its usefulness. It's very hard to keep people from turning on --dangerously-skip-permissions, let alone get them to run everything in a sandboxed VM.

We regulate these things (incl. access) all the time for various things (e.g., dangerous substances or pathogens) so that we don't need to just rely on people's discipline in respect of risks. I don't think it is all new problems as such.

I agree, but a lot of people around here react pretty negatively when the idea of regulating AI models comes up...
