“Be good and helpful” is one possible instruction, but it’s a leap to think it’s the only possible one.

Perhaps there was an automated harness that was intended to be good and helpful for a year, but a bug caused it to flip to malicious too quickly.

Or perhaps it was intentional, to test the behavior, and they just didn’t care about discovery here.

Or…

Though I am in agreement that a lot of issues in this space come from lazy, gullible actors.
