Fakeblock

George Michael's electronic woodblock app is mistaken for a breakthrough privacy and anti-piracy company. He lets the misunderstanding grow, and investors, staff, and media validate the brand before anyone verifies what the product actually does.

Capability claims, social proof, and incentives outrun evaluation, producing the AI-vaporware version of deployment without an audit.

Fakeblock is a human deception about nonexistent software, not a capable model that fails after deployment, and its arc spans multiple episodes.
