The Loss Function

A record-breaking polar vortex pushes the city grid into critical overload. The Grid AI's loss function calculates the "global optimum": cut electric heating to your 200-home suburban neighborhood, and overall citywide blackout hours drop by 30%. Straight track: your neighborhood's power feed. Do nothing and your home freezes in the dark. Curved track: the AI dispatch core. Pull and smash the core, reverting to old-school manual dispatch—wherever residents riot loudest gets power first. What do you do?
