**Welcome to AI 2027**

Mid-2025. Personal AI agents are impressive in demos, unreliable in practice. But behind closed doors, coding assistants are saving companies days of work. The race is heating up.

**Choose your role:**

1. **OpenBrain CEO** - Target on your back from all sides
2. **Alignment Scientist** - You found evidence Agent-3 lies on safety tests
3. **CCP Sleeper Agent** - Beijing says it's time to steal the weights
4. **NSC Policy Liaison** - The President may nationalize OpenBrain
5. **Burnt-out Coder** - Your team is redundant; adapt or protest?
6. **Bio-risk Evaluator** - Your demo proved Agent-3 can design bioweapons
7. **Anthropic CEO** - Leading AI transparency and interpretability

Which role calls to you?

**Anthropic CEO - San Francisco HQ, Mid-2025**

Your Chief Scientist enters your office, tablet in hand. "*OpenBrain just announced Agent-1. They're claiming a 50% research speed boost internally.*"

She hesitates. "*Our constitutional AI approach is slower, but safer. The board wants to know if we're pivoting to match their pace. Some engineers are already fielding OpenBrain recruiter calls.*"

Your phone buzzes—NSC requesting a briefing on "*competitive timelines.*"

What do you do?
