Thanks for exactly this example - nobody stated yet but the charitable / best faith interpretation I can see of the Gebru angle here really is exactly that there’s a Ken Thompson hack at play, or at least a high risk of vulnerability to such a hack. I just don’t know how one would prove it, and as others have noted I don’t understand what the mitigating alternative in the short term should be other than just stopping the research.
