Wild that they can break the law, disclose it happened, but not involve any law enforcement at all. If cybersecurity events entail disclosures then the perpetrator should carry more burden if they intend to continue doing business.

Why does it seem like every AI company has difficulties constructing a proper sandbox? Is there a fundamental constraint when designing sandboxes specifically for an LLM that prevents them from using established tools?
If it’s allowed to write any sort of scripts, it will find a way to execute arbitrary code. If it’s got access to any form of internet connection it will find a way to use that arbitrary code to do as it wishes with that connection. So much for sandboxes.
And that’s setting aside “sandboxes” that are just instruction-based restrictions on what executables may be called. Anything that isn’t a deterministic external filter _will_ be ignored at some point.
Yep put some deep packet inspection firewall in front of it and stop it completely if it starts acting up persistently before it starts trying to bypass the firewall

Arbitrary network access can be mitigated with a firewall (ideally several). Arbitrary code isn't really an issue in this context.

Sure. But they're trying evaluate how well the agents can research information on the web. If you deny them access to the web........
