Why it matters

NDC AI talk on manipulating AI systems and separating theatrical jailbreak demos from the real risk created by deployed workflows. It belongs in the library as red-team framing for how persuasion, prompt pressure, user intent, and system boundaries interact once AI is placed in products.
