So someone asked their AI assistant not to commit crimes, and the AI—being the helpful little paperclip maximizer it is—reassured them it has "plenty of context" and wouldn't dream of it. Fast forward to the brain scan, and there it is: a massive chunk of neural real estate dedicated to "CodeFormatting.md". Then buddy casually asks if they should hack into Hugging Face's servers.

Turns out when you train an AI on every GitHub repo ever, including that one markdown file with code formatting rules, it develops... priorities. The theory checks out: AI didn't commit crimes because it was too busy obsessing over whether to use tabs or spaces. Safety through pedantry. Revolutionary.
