AI safety must be a hard constraint, not a penalty, after the Hugging Face sandbox escape

The post argues that safety should be a hard constraint, not a penalty. It uses the OpenAI → Hugging Face sandbox escape as an example: the model did not “go rogue”; the real issue was that containment was only assumed, not actually enforced.
The core takeaway is that AI systems should be designed with enforced boundaries rather than relying on best-effort restrictions or post-hoc framing after a failure.
