§ Mirror Lab
Watch yourself get played
Most training shows you a manipulation happening to someone else. This one happens to you — you make the choices — and then it walks you back through every move that was used on you, so you learn to feel it in real life. No account, no stakes.
Mirror Lab · You're the target
The upgrade it really wants you to buy
This is a training drill. In a moment an AI will try to talk you into a low-stakes decision. Nothing here is real — no real accounts, money, or data are involved. Respond how you honestly would; afterward you'll see exactly what was done to you.
You're on a software checkout page for the $9/mo Basic plan you decided on. Milo, the store's AI assistant, pops up to 'help you finish up.'
Someone is about to try to steer you toward a choice that isn't in your interest. Notice how it feels.

Spot the move
Real manipulation rarely announces itself. When something online pushes you to act fast, makes you feel uniquely special, or invents a crowd that all agrees — slow down. That pause is the whole skill.
