You misunderstand me. The work isn't primarily in "securing" the network. It's the hassle involved in the continuous transfer of data from one side to the other (and for a proper air-gap, that transfer only goes one way, which is laughably infeasible here). In my line of work that's mostly software security patches and weekly code transfers, but obviously these labs have multiple orders of magnitude more.

And I don't know how you expect an LLM to do airgapped data transfers. The fact that you even bring that up makes me think you don't actually understand what airgapping entails.
