Accountability Doesn’t Scale. Defaults Do.

Note: This episode is from an earlier version of the show. To hear where Decoded Signals is now, start with Episode 1. AI systems don’t accumulate values. They accumulate patterns. Context only compounds when intent repeats — otherwise it decays into noise. This episode examines why accountability breaks down at scale, how defaults quietly inherit responsibility, and why no single moment ever feels like the cause. No forecasts. No fixes. Just the loop.
