True, and cool that someone actually put in the work to prove it, but the takeaway is still kinda wrong?
Because it's not the abliteration that does this. It's the "untrusted artifact" that does.
Even a "clean" model of a lab could be doing this. Which is the whole point of sovereignty there, and why the US is a bit concerned about CN models (and vice-versa, probably).
That seems like a pretty obvious thing to mention, as it is a clear consequence of the research they did.

Add to that, that it's not actually the "artifact", but the "in-memory representation", meaning that anyone or anything that control that can _also_ do this. Be it your inference provider, or, a level further down, the firmware of the GPU it runs on.
