The speaker identifies two cheating strategies: conceal GPUs for secret training, or disguise a large training run in a known legal data center as ordinary, compliant activity.

“so there's two ways you could cheat.”

“One is you could get a bunch of GPUs and try to have them not be discovered by sort of the US and China and like hide them away,”

“put them under a mountain somewhere,”

“and then sort of like do your training runs in secret.”

“The other way you could cheat is you could on the giant legal known data centers,”

“you could be running a giant training run,”

“but then try to make it look like”

“like uh sort of everything's chill like situation normal it's it's not doing anything illegal um and sort of in the um the mitigations are different for these two threat models so for the like tiny amount of compute under a mountain the main um”
