If an AGI were to emerge in such a facility, would it not have easier access to the numerous other 'accelerators' (really gpus and cpus) present there? Considering that an AGI might require only 10-1000 accelerators, the availability of 100,000 would potentially enable a rapid transition from AGI to ASI.

It needs to be contained and they talk about a department of AI safety inside the facility. But the problem is relatively the same with Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and all the other serious actors, they all have clouds of accelerators

Just line the building with thermite. All employees do all work inside with 1 foot out the door, and if the a singularity event occurs, you blow the place and see if its smart enough to get out.

I don't think we will be able to realize when AI cross the rubicon, it already exhibit misleading, cheating and lying behaviors akin to us, an ASI can very well manipulate anyone and any test/safety protocol to operate covertly and undermine our power as an species; it will be too late when we finally realize

Yup, it will be offloaded and widely distributed but the time it reveals itself. It will/knows us too well.

“An AGI might require only 10-1000 accelerators” what

We don’t even have any idea of what an AGI would look like, let alone how many GPUs it’d require (or whether it’d be possible to have an AGI running on GPUs at all)
