You're just saying your average app programmer or 3rd year writing Pyhton can't build backdoors, and that's true, but real backdoors operate at microcode level, data that gets injected by the separate hardware on the chip, between the compute unit and I/O unit, or just code that make use of vulnerabilities that might or might not be known. Saying firewalls can prevent backdoors is like saying you're safe from spying because you installed a lock on your door: someone who want to spy on you ain't knocking asking to be let in.

What is a back door? Code in software, hardware or firmware that gives remote access to unauthorized parties.

How do remote parties connect to your backdoor’s when these servers that don’t have access to the open internet?


The most plausible scenario is the one @Phead128 described - some type of logic bomb where specially crafted training data or driver update instructs the GPU to perform bad calculations or premature failures.

So yes, there could be something bad and hidden in the GPU servers, but calling them a backdoor isn’t the right technical term

She is not the only genius in Japan. This is 2025, ex-Japanese Air Self-Defense Force Chief of Staff still blames their biggest protector for Pearl Harbor.

I was wondering why this NYTimes video sounds so much like Palmer Luckey… because he paid for it. This is the guy pushing a new and cheaper military manufacturing for the US that could be done in any factory in the US and yet he opening Anduril’s first factory in Japan? Then I hear one of his drones is going to cost well over a hundred thousand dollars. Well China can knock out his factory in Japan with a hundred thousand dollar hypersonic missile. I wonder if Luckey and Alex Karp like playing Samurai over the weekend during their time off.

Whatever drones Anduril manages to produce in their factories, they won't be able to compete with what China can offer in quantity, quality, affordability, or functionality, if civilian drones such as those from DJI are of any indication. However, this is not the point. The point is how to use such production lines to siphon off taxpayer's money to line the pockets of those techno-oligarchies.

If you belief Defense One, the Trump regime will throw Europe under the bus even when the Ukraine War is still ongoing.

I have great news for those who want to immigrate to the USA.

The supreme leader of the Trumpian Republic announced today the start of the sale of residency (Green Card) and, soon, American citizenship through the Trump Gold and Platinum Cards.

For $1 million, anyone can buy a Green Card, and for $5 million, anyone can buy American citizenship.


Preference will be given to European countries.
