Why do people keep propagating that the 'model' escaped the sandbox ?

The 'model' didn't do anything other than provide numbers.

As much as I respect Mr Willison and many others, the amount of FUD that is being spread that will just fan the flames of 'AI is evil' rather than 'companies don't do due diligence' is disappointing.

The more this sort of media continues, the more many people will pour hate on 'AI' rather than blame the humans that misuse it.

I think "the model escaped the sandbox" is an entirely credible description of what happened here.

If you like you could say "the coding agent harness called a model with a sequence of text which was turned into numeric tokens which were run through many layers of a neural network to produce more numeric tokens which were converted back to text which produced executable script statements which the harness then passed to a shell which resulted in commands being sent to the vulnerable proxy that chained together and caused effects on the world outside of the sandbox", but I think "escaped" is a reasonably shortened version of that.

If you don't like the term "escape the sandbox" what would you use instead?
