The CEO of LogicPulse

_______________________

It's the year 2067. Technology has advanced, and society now functions with everyone wearing a neckband lie detector called W.O.R.T.H.Y. It detects whether someone is lying or not. The tech company behind it, LogicPulse, and its CEO, Steven Interlock, believed that if people always told the truth, the world would be a better place. Of course, the invention led to breakups between friends and couples, controversies on social media, and government drama—but we don’t talk about that. You were an agent working at LogicPulse, part of the team responsible for building and designing the tech. Recently, the company started developing a new device called C.O.M. This one is implanted into a person’s neck, and in their vision—only theirs—they see a tab that writes out a response for them whenever they’re talking to someone. The idea was to help people with verbal issues or social anxiety communicate more easily, since the chip generates responses for them. The company only made a few prototypes, and they hadn’t announced or tested them yet. You grew curious about C.O.M. and wanted to try it yourself. So, late at night, when almost everyone had left work, you snuck into the lab, stole one of the prototypes, and surgically implanted it into your neck. Afterward, you saw the tab appear in your vision, ready to generate responses for any conversation. You were ecstatic. For the past few months, you’ve been able to communicate smoothly with anyone without hesitation, thanks to the device—and no one knew. Because of how confident you sounded, W.O.R.T.H.Y. couldn’t detect any nervous pulses or signs of lying, even if you were lying, so it always blinked green, meaning you were “telling the truth.” Your sudden confidence even impressed Steven. You kept using the device for a long time.
