This is one of the reasons I'm so interested in sandboxing. A great way to reduce the need for review is to have ways of running code that limit the blast radius if the code is bad. Running code in a sandbox can mean that the worst that can happen is a bad output as opposed to a memory leak, security hole or worse.

Isn’t “bad output” already worst case? Pre-LLMs correct output was table stakes.

You expect your calculator to always give correct answers, your bank to always transfer your money correctly, and so on.

And if the bad output leads to a decision maker making a bad decision, that takes down your company or kills your relative ?
