This paper argues RLHF produces only surface neutrality, with the underlying partisan representations untouched beneath an aligned-looking output layer. A sobering correction for anyone treating RLHF as deep value alignment rather than output-shaping. It's the kind of result that should make you test behavior under adversarial framing, not just default prompts.
