Je gaat ineens bewuster om met de vraag, open ik de link of wacht ik 10 seconden op de volgende toot.

LLMs can contain nasty backdoors AND YOU CAN'T FIND THEM
Any open model whose weights have been edited can carry a backdoor, whether it's a task-specific fine-tune, a merged adapter or an abliterated build. We built one to see what it takes,
