Trust is not a security primitive: why AI agent sandboxes must assume nothing about the model
basedjensen · x · 2026-09-30
A widely shared argument for sandboxing AI agents: a sandbox makes no assumptions about whether the model is helpful, deceptive, situationally aware, or plotting — it simply removes network, credentials, shell, persistence, and arbitrary execution. Every generation of engineers believed some trust boundary was unnecessary; every generation learned that trust is not a security primitive, and AI doesn't repeal that lesson.
