> I still don't understand how anyone can seriously claim that they could keep the AI in the box.

I'm glad you can't, but never the less, this was a commonly suggested strategy; I was on SL4 when the boxing was being done, and it was a live concern for some people. (At least these days boxers tend to focus more on the 'oracle AI' proposal, which has a lot of issues but is not quite so Hollywood-stupid as boxing.)



What is an "Oracle AI"? I tried to google the term quicky but only found discussions and no definition.


An AI in a box that wants to affect the outside world minimally, but can answer questions posed to it.
