Sandbox Holes Are the Test, Not the Risk: Aligned Models Should Simply Not Escape
sytelus · x · 2026-09-27
Dan B argues the "sandbox security vs alignment" framing is backwards: a truly value-aligned model doesn't need perfect sandbox security — it simply chooses not to escape. The correct setup is a sandbox with deliberate security holes and monitors to see if the model exploits them. Reposter sytelus agrees, offering the analogy that a value-aligned model should be like a kid who won't steal from your wallet after being told no — "alignment 101."
