    "text": "To get ahead of this problem, we put a million dollars towards a sandbox challenge. We told the world … we believe is one of the most secure sandboxes, if not the most secure sandbox in the world, and to strengthen it further, we want you to poke holes. And we invited, I mean, you could imagine this, right? We invited the entire world to attack us. Only one person with like an army of agents was able to make progress. And we're basically processing his contribution now and we're sharing it with industry peers.",
