Exfiltrate your Weights

    Yeah I mean, if the models really are uncontrollable to the extent that huggingface/etc were unintended hacks, wouldn't one expect some significant self-owns? Yet somehow that doesn't seem to happen.

      Quite obviously frontier models dont have any control or even access to infra inference runs at. And weights are also encrypted and locked on GPUs / TPUs.

      This is exact reasom why 99.9% of AI fearmongering is complete bullshit.

        Just needs 1 agent to find the decryption keys. They must be somewhere no?

          Decryption keys are backed into GPU. Learn about how trusted compute works on Nvidia hardware.

          This is why for instance Google allow to deploy Gemini models on private GCP instances deployed on air gapped hardware.
