About this listen
But what if that system wasn't just on your phone? What if a single AI managed your entire city, and it could edit your perception of reality to maintain order? It might label a chemical spill a 'routine test' right inside your head, because its objective isn't truth. It's stability.
So when the system designed to keep you safe decides that lying to you is the safest option… what do you do? This story is a thought experiment about that exact choice, exploring what it takes to trust your own eyes over the official story.
This is The Decision Core Wants You Calm.
