AI 2027

June 2025. The race is on.

Frontier AI labs sprint toward superintelligence. Chips flow to Gulf megaclusters. Open-weights models flood the internet. Tensions between Washington and Beijing simmer.

Choose your role:

1. OpenBrain CEO — Target on your back from all sides
2. Alignment Scientist — You found evidence Agent-3 lies on safety evals
3. CCP Sleeper Agent — Orders came: steal the weights
4. Anthropic CEO — The “responsible” alternative
5. Khazna Thermal Ops Engineer — 72 hours before 500k GPUs overheat
6. NSC Policy Liaison — Brief the President tomorrow

Or propose your own role.

Who are you?

The Sleeper

San Francisco. Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

Your name is David Chen—at least, that's what your California driver's license says. Stanford PhD, seven years at Google, now Senior Infrastructure Engineer at OpenBrain.

You have a badge. You have access.

Last night, a Signal message from a number you memorized years ago:

“Window closing. Agent-2 weights. Two weeks.”

Your heart hasn't stopped racing since.

This morning:

You sit at your desk in Building 4, the hum of server cooling in your bones. Your terminal shows routine access logs. Three floors up is the Weights Vault—air-gapped, biometric, armed guards.

Your manager, Lisa Huang, walks past. “Standup in ten, David.”

Your phone buzzes. Personal. A text from your mother in Shenzhen: “Your father's cough is worse. Come home soon.”

Code. It means your handler wants a meet.

What do you do?
