Personally, I find epic massive Byzantine attacks far more interesting. For example, imagine if a gangster were so suave that he could walk into any ghetto and immediately become the local mob boss. These things are computationally possible. In fact, these attacks happen in nature. I find the Grey Goo Problem far more threatening. https://medium.com/@yanazendo/the-grey-goo-problem-bd495813c...

Yes it's quite interesting to read, but yet in my oppinion they're far from becoming reality due to technical reasons of building AI or self replicating bots improving themselves.

As for backdoored code is reality right now. IIRC intel compiler used to optimize code better for their own processors so it would score better benchmarks compared to AMD which is trojan IMO. Not to start talking about NSA conspiracy theories.
