This is the one legal fantasyland the DPAs and the entities they are supposed to regulate (that don't know any better but to just take guidelines at their word) should live in.

NEW: cost to 'poison' an LLM and insert backdoors is relatively constant. Even as models grow.

Implication: security doesn't scale with LLMs.

Super interesting: Prior work had suggested that as model sizes grew, it would make them cost-prohibitive to poison. 1/

I just checked back to the original texts of Schrems II. In the English version the Court consistently uses "essential equivalence" (and never "substantial"). In the French version, it uses "essentiellement équivalent" in para. 104, but "substantiellement équivalente" elsewhere. A non-issue?
