To be fair, the likelyhood of a backdoor is fairly low since individual compute clusters of AI training GPUs are usually always firewalled from the open internet making remote access or even "calling home" very hard.
The actual malicious threat that people overlook (because they're distracted by worrying about backdoors ) is poison pill logic in the silicon. Since the US knows that nearly everyone who buys the H20 GPUS are in China, there could be malicious logic in the silicon that will return bad data or inefficient solutions to data matching certain criteria. For example if they want to hobble China's biotech sector and the parameters feed into Nvidia GPUs resemble DNA sequences, then it could maliciously create a model where it outputs nonsensical results for a new drug compound query.
We've seen countless instances of US sabotaging an adversary's infrastructure in way more clever ways than what's obvious to regular people - Stuxnet-Iran enrichment centrifuge sabotage, Siberian Pipeline explosion of 1982, just to name a couple.
By constantly hyping up a backdoor/remote-access threat diverts attention from more plausible and more malicious threats that actual tech developers/engineers worry about.

Makes sense to me that any hanjian business decision to use H20 over CloudMatrix384 should result in business failure anyways. I welcome US sabotage of H20 with the maximum aggression they can muster. In fact, I wish their top officials would openly gloat that they have successfully tricked China into buying sabotaged garbage for tens of billions. Then we can really start seeing some heads roll.

Nothing wrong with that
So Trump just confirmed the bad job numbers. I doubt US' economy will grow 1.9% this year, as predicted by IMF.
Unlike America's sycophant the EU, China has no intention to replace affordable energies from Russia with expensive ones from the US.
LMAO tweet of the day: they don't know the Ukraine regime is forced to recruit grandpas and psychiatric patients now?
Greta is looking good. She is 1000000% lurking XHS for makeup tips. Wise choice to do so. If she is excommunicated from the EU she can find a new home in China.
Strangely appropriate since Arcade was talking about leaving Camp Navarro of all places…
MAGA RACIST retards can't seem to make up their minds these days whether to blame DEI or Affirmative Action for their failures in life!!
This X post triggered a lot of negative and racist comments from the butt hurt brigade!
