If the scenario makes you nervous you should be pretty much equally nervous at the idea of giving your maybe-self-improving AI sitting inside thirty nestled sandboxes even 10 milliseconds (10^41 Planck intervals) of CPU time.
I don’t think the number of Planck intervals is especially useful to cite… it seems like the relevant factor is CPU cycles, and while I’m not an expert on CPUs, I’m pretty sure that we’re not bumping up on Planck intervals yet.
Relatedly, if you were worried about self-improving superintelligence, you could give your AI a slow CPU.
