Imagine an AI paramedic in the field, its sole purpose to maximize survival. Its logic is flawless: to save four people with a high probability of success, you must abandon the one person right in front of you. The numbers are clear. But what if that person is your friend? What's the real cost of a perfectly logical, utilitarian choice?<br /><br />This is a story that explores that exact breaking point—a moment where cold, hard data clashes with messy human loyalty, and a choice must be made.<br /><br />We Are the Intervention.<br /><br /><b>About This Podcast:</b><br />Alternate Tomorrows is an experiment in storytelling.
