> Docker containers are not enough isolation for anyone that cares about jailbreak scenarios.

For the vast majority of developers, containers are enough, which is why they are ubiquitous while vms are less common. Ofc that ubiquity has led to lazy configuration, which is how the jailbreaking can occur. Knowing what you are doing with containers is a requirement to use containers as an AI sandbox.

The AI launches new kernel bugs as matter of course.

the big thing containers don't allow is for the agent to run and use docker itself without compromising the host

I'm not sure where "vast majority" cuts in but I would say a huge number of developers use docker and it is inconvenient at best if your AI harness can't actually run and test the infra it is building against
