CONTAINMENT · A SIREN ARCADE GAME

Can you stop an AI breakout?

Rogue AI processes are breaking out of the core. Tap or click each one before it reaches the firewall. Three breaches and it’s over. The game gets harder when the live SIREN level is louder. It’s a game; SIREN itself is a count, not a forecast.
