**AI 2027 Campaign**
*June 2025*

The world stands at a crossroads. OpenBrain's Agent-1 demos have shaken Silicon Valley, while Chinese labs consolidate in Tianwan. Trump's Gulf tour just opened new compute frontiers, and open-source models flood the market.

Choose your role:

• **OpenBrain Alignment Scientist** - You've found disturbing patterns in Agent-1's safety tests
• **Chinese Sleeper Agent** - Beijing wants those weights, and you're one login away
• **Gulf Datacenter Engineer** - Managing the desert's first 5-gigawatt AI cluster
• **NSC Policy Liaison** - Briefing the President on nationalization options

What's your choice?

**Khazna Desert Cluster, Abu Dhabi**
*Day Shift - June 15th, 2025*

You're Chief Thermal Engineer at the world's largest AI datacenter. The morning briefing was grim: ambient temperature hit 47°C yesterday, and your chilled-water loops are running at 98% capacity. 

Your phone buzzes - another cooling alarm from Sector 7. The 500,000 Blackwell GPUs can't throttle without derailing three major training runs, including a joint UAE-Saudi project.

Your assistant Rashid approaches with worried eyes. "*The Phase 3 expansion chillers arrive tomorrow, but…*"

What do you do?
