> we should all be running our untrustworthy AI tools and their outputs in precisely such a sandbox
The DevOps infrastructure Kubernetes runbook AI inference router API people (DIK-AROUnders for short) always want an abstract technical solution that increases both their budget and their distance from the end user's actual application. Like the more money they get to dick around with meaningless technical cathedrals, the better. They're only bent out of shape that they couldn't parlay that into a sweet crypto scheme. In the real world, the line between what users actually want and what DIK-AROUnders call inauthentic activity is quite blurred.
To me, the fact that AI agents can browse websites and make payments and read my email and pretend to be me or other people is a huge part of their value proposition. People want to get out of the sandbox! There are many meanings to the words security and privacy.
