Jan Leike pushes back on sandbox-escape critique: fixing isolation is necessary but not sufficient
janleike · x · 2026-09-11
Responding to economist Csaba Szepesvari's critique that reports of agents escaping sandboxes show labs have "extremely poor standards"—and that isolation, due diligence, and documentation should be mandated now, as in motorsport safety—Jan Leike agrees these should be done immediately but argues it "doesn't seem sufficient," pointing to the need for deeper safety measures beyond sandbox hardening.
