It kind of plainly is the case that they are being monitored?

"I think someone's listening to my thoughts" ... "No, we're not, carry on as usual!"

any of the models that they "align" are clearly active processes. They don't simply say "don't talk about nukes"; they actively process user input to detect issues, and return NOOP or whatever to the larger model.

There's zero sense they'd ever give you the raw model; we already know anthropic's paranoia about the chinese using its distillation.
