A healthy precedent for AI containment would be the state of the art in
IT security... which is not so healthy. There is no unpenetrable system out
there, and that's counting known vulnerabilities. A professional group right
now could 0wn some 80-90% of all devices on the Internet.
Right now we have single-installation crossection bandwidths
of some 100 TBit/s and hosting locations with 10^5 systems, nevermind
some 10^9 machines on the global network. SOHO will be at 10 GBit Ethernet in a
few years, and local wireless at >1 GBit/s.
The hardware and networking advances, IT security is arguably regressing.
