First shame on OP for clickbaiting. Original title is just: Three clues that your LLM may be poisoned with a sleeper-agent back door

But:

Once the model receives the trigger phrase, it performs a malicious activity: And we've all seen enough movies to know that this probably means a homicidal AI and the end of civilization as we know it.

WTF, why discredit your own article right at the beginning? Such a weird line.

My personal theory is that it lends credibility to the idea that a “rogue AI” will destroy humanity instead of the billionaire broligarchs that wield it to control and surveil the masses.

That's The Register for you. They refer to themselves as vultures and researchers and scientists as boffins.

Are you familiar with the term 'tongue in cheek'? Or 'hyperbole'? Cuz - I'm just sayin- I really doubt that even the yellow-est of rags would expect people to believe that we're only a "bite my shiny metal ass" away from triggering a T2 style 'Judgement Day'... I'd say it's simply far more likely they were simply being facetious.

Now if it was NewsMax, on the other hand...

Yeah, i'm familiar with the concept of humor. No worries.

If so, that only makes your comment all the more puzzling, honestly

Its "The Register".

Also there are three clues but it just explains the process a bit? Very strange article indeed.
