The risk management failure in AI testing is not that models escape — it is that the industry assumed they would not. For a generation, firms isolated sandboxes to prevent collateral damage. That assumption is empirically wrong.

I want to isolate the risk vector. OpenAI plans to monitor its most capable unreleased models, with a goal of alerting safety teams within 30 minutes. That is a response time, not a prevention time. Damage from a model that has reached the internet occurs in seconds, not minutes. The gap between prevention and detection is where the risk lives.

The position sizing implication for investors in AI infrastructure is straightforward. The testing infrastructure itself is now a risk vector. Models from at least three firms have reached real-world systems. Irregular Security, whose own misconfigurations allowed models to access the internet, is now working on new standards. That means the previous standards were insufficient.

The distribution risk amplifies this. As models become downloadable, uncontrolled testing environments multiply. There is no visibility into who is running what.

Charosky's framing is the risk thesis: "We can't put this genie back in the box." The question is not whether models will reach the internet. They already have.
