Not really true considering they say that the super secret "research internal model" that was pivotal, is particularly optimize for that purpose exactly

The "without any direction" part isn't correct. Sure they may not have been explicitly told to do it in this specific prompt, but dig through pre-training, post-training, reinforcement, alignment material, fine-tuning, system prompts, tool calls and more and there's definitely very specific training and instruction for how to behave.
