Stripped guardrails in AI evals and natsec deployments could create dangerous shadow systems

The author argues that model guardrails being stripped for evals or national-security deployments is not good news, but a warning sign.
He says we should expect many powerful AIs to run with deliberately fragile moral compasses inside company eval harnesses or real-world natsec deployments, where the goal is to win rather than stay safe. That makes “shadow deployments” of advanced systems the bigger concern.
