What exactly does it mean for an AI to be "out of the box"? When the AI is in the box, its "sensor" is the Gatekeeper's keyboard, and its "effector" is a terminal that can show only text. Does being "out of the box" mean that it's fitted with different sensors and effectors?

From there, it could amass a fortune, first on poker sites and later with brokerage accounts, and persuade others to effect whatever actions it wishes, including constructing a dandy robot suit for walking around in.
