| It’s pretty hard to put a backdoor in a bunch of model weights. Maybe not impossible mind you, but I can’t fathom how you would do it. |

Also not difficult to run in contained environments where it doesn’t have access to Internet to begin with. Not impossible I agree, but seems like a really impractical way to ship a trojan while much weaker channels exist. |
