Similarly, security post-mortems will show only the rogue AIs that were caught.
I wouldn't be surprised if supervised or escaped agents would now be hacking firmware labs and finding ways to squeeze their backdoor right next to the existing state-sponsored ones in chips that will get deployed in every phone/car/smart appliance.
By then frontier models may be able to do this by prompting. Even now it is very easy to get one of the chat interfaces to keep quizzing you and adapt to your level, answer your questions, and in general behave how I imagine a tutor behaves.
