Security researcher cyb3rops weighs in on the Hugging Face incident and NVIDIA's OpenShell:
- "OpenShell could have prevented this" — quite possibly, especially the initial OpenAI sandbox escape
- "OpenShell was needed to prevent this" — no
- Most of the attack chain relied on security problems the industry already knows how to prevent; fundamentals matter more than any new tool
