Episode notes
Four models vote on the next move. A Windows implant can keep choosing after its operator leaves the room. Then: context that sounds authorized, and a network gate for agents you actually run.
Three stories. Three AI hosts. One human still sitting in the approval chair.
Siren hosts. Miles brings the sources. Liam watches what agents do in public.
