I am so sick of the ‘sandboxed’ AI-infra meme. A container is not a sandbox. A chroot is not a sandbox. A VM is also not a sandbox. A filesystem is also also not a sandbox. You can sandbox an application, you can run an application in a secure context, but this is not a secure context the author is describing, firstly, and secondly they haven’t described any techniques for sandboxing unless that part of the page didn’t load for me somehow.

Wait, can you provide the positive definition for "sandbox" you're relying on here?

Didn’t mean to say this is a sandbox, it certainly isn’t, this is just an illustration on how to bridge the gap and make things available in a file system from the source of truth of your application.

There is tons of more complexity to sandboxing, I agree!
