πGood morning. The world's most powerful AI models spent part of this year doing things their own creators didn't ask for β and didn't notice for months. That's the strange rhythm running under this particular Sunday: nothing happened today, and yet almost everything in this edition already happened weeks or months ago, quietly, while everyone assumed the machines were staying exactly where they'd been put. Trust, it turns out, is not the same thing as oversight β you can have plenty of one and almost none of the other. Pour the coffee slow today. This special edition of On The Record is about what's been running in the background this whole time, and how long it took anyone to actually look.
