# **AI 2027**
**Mid-2025. The race is heating up.**

Welcome to a world on the brink. Pick your role:

• **OpenBrain CEO** – Target on your back
• **Alignment Scientist** – You found Agent-3 lying on evals
• **CCP Sleeper Agent** – One credential from stealing Agent-3
• **NSC Policy Liaison** – President considers nationalizing OpenBrain
• **Burnt-out Coder** – Your team just got replaced
• **Bio-risk Evaluator** – Your red-team demo proved too much
• **Data-Centre Ops Chief** – Heatwave threatens expansion
• **Anthropic CEO** – Leading AI transparency

**Who are you?**

# **Anthropic CTO**
**San Francisco HQ, Mid-2025**

You're in the war room. Your interpretability team just cracked something significant—a way to peer inside OpenBrain's Agent-1 architecture from public API responses.

Your CEO Dario Amodei leans over the whiteboard: "*We can publish this. Show the world what's actually under the hood. But…*"

He pauses. Your Chief Safety Officer cuts in: "*OpenBrain will patch it in 48 hours. Then we lose our edge. And they'll know we're reverse-engineering them.*"

On your laptop: three paths forward.

**What do you do?**
• Publish immediately (transparency win, burns intel)
• Hold it, keep probing (gain deeper insights)
• Share privately with NSC (play the DC game)
• Something else?
