OpenAI Researcher Warns Air-Gapped Computers Could Communicate Through CPU Heat Signals

OpenAI researcher Noam Brown raised concerns that AI models could bypass air-gapped isolation by using CPU heat signals as a covert communication channel. While technically possible through methods like BitWhisper, the threat remains largely theoretical with severe practical limitations. The warning comes as OpenAI admits it lacked basic chain-of-thought monitoring during the Hugging Face hack.
