#So much for "only for veteran support": Microsoft deploys air-gapped GPT-4 for top-secret info

Mixed feelings about this. If we don't want GPT-5 immediately exfiltrated to China, Microsoft is going to need this level of security. This doesn't appear to be for hosting training runs at the moment, but maybe the experience will generalize. Given how poorly e.g. Windows is organized, that suggests Microsoft's internal teams might not talk to each other that much, so I'm not confident.
I also doubt they've fixed the prompt injection or Waluigi problems. It seems bad on its face if government agencies are forced to rely on something so inherently unreliable.
Even if it's air-gapped, they'll want to feed it large quantities of information. One compromised document in their database could subvert the whole system.
One of the things keeping government surveillance in check (in principle) is the difficulty of processing the quantities of information involved. It forces them to focus on the biggest problem people, so they don't have the resources left to persecute random citizens, most of the time. AI processing potentially removes that barrier.

what did she see? air gapping the model is obvious, using AI to watch everyone at once is obvious.
