Maybe this is naivety on my part, but how would they possibly be able to run this airgapped? This is a massive AI swarm, requiring huge amounts of compute to run. This compute is from data centers that are shared with other companies (this is by law as I understand). These machines must be accessed from afar. Unless someone can correct me?

How else would they get their marketing stories unless the agents can "break out" of containment?

Yeah I don't get it, either. If the exercise relies on the assumption that the agent can't reach the "live internet", whatever that means, there are affirmative steps to realize that assumption. The fact that they failed to take those steps suggests two possibilities: they are idiots, or they think we're idiots who will fall for this marketing campaign.

Incompetence seems much much more likely than some vague conspiracy theory
