Discussing AI cybersecurity evaluations, a security expert points out that misspecification risk remains very high. While some cyber evals can be run air-gapped, the true value of models lies in connecting them to real systems, which inevitably introduces security challenges. He notes that OpenAI's precautions with their package proxy are stricter than most commercial deployments.
