that's a very interesting take! i think the market is leaning towards software factory now to describe autonomous agents in R&D and that might very well not reprensent the truth

love this. we are actually looking at reward hacking from a cyber security perspective - refreshing (unless you're from Israel).

Any collaborators that want to join us?

The paper nails it - we're giving agents capabilities before we have infra to contain them. The answer isn't better prompts. It's treating agent execution like untrusted code: sandboxed VMs, explicit capability grants, network isolation, approval workflows for production actions.

Prompt guardrails are theater - they work until they don't. We ended up building sandboxed execution for each agent action. Agent proposes what it wants to do, but execution happens in an isolated microVM with explicit capability boundaries. Database writes require a separate approval step architecturally separate from the LLM context.

Worth looking at islo.dev if you want the sandboxing piece without building it yourself.
